Reason:

1. Historical and lingering?
Both agree to the general themes, pro disagrees that it remains.

2. Sex Gap (points 2 and 3)
Con proves gap remains (even if better than many other places).
Pro does a rant denying the pay gap exists, then conceding that it exists, then again denying it exists.
Con reiterates that he was using a general gap, but proves that even by the adjusted gender pay gap there remains a disparity.
Pro concedes it exists, insists sexism has nothing to do with it, but fails to demonstrate what this mysterious other cause to be.
From there con has two more rounds and pro forfeits. No point in further review of this point when pro was already losing (not to mention how much he dropped).

3. Representation
Con shows that women are less represented in leadership roles.
Pro counters focusing on the smallest subset of those roles.
Con counters that pro failed to provide his data, and provides some of his own showing a study from Georgetown University which suggests 13% of the population are sexist about that one area.
Pro defends himself on one of the subpoints, leaving this wide area dropped.

Arguments:
See above review of key points. The magnitude of victory is just to wide on what’s already shown to merit reviewing the rest. Likely pro manages to show some small area where women have things better than men, which would be fundamentally overshadowed by the number and impact of the other areas already shown. Pro was obviously never trying to live up to his affirmative BoP.

Sources:
Using the arguments as an example: A well sources case, vs some YouTube videos. The Georgetown University one was particularly well executed, as it proved sexism in believes about women being emotionally unfit for politics, and more importantly using pro’s own cited lack of evidence against him.

Conduct:
Forfeiture.
