Actually, I take it back about your phoning it in comments being fair. Given that you obviously skimmed the debate yourself, your criticism is hypocritical and therefore unreasonable.
Yep, done. I never argued that men are better planners.
"In R2 I thought you would win. Then pro made a comeback, and you chose to just drop that he had flipped your best source and argument to be directly against you."
Do you mean about women being better financial managers? His source and argument were about managing debt (an infomercial for a mortgage service) which I never mentioned. In fact, I never argued for financial management in the first place, but about practical management and providing resources. His objection was irrelevant, a misinterpretation and a red herring so yes, I ignored it
"Yes, you moved to a pathos appeal of imagined cold hungry children, but those don't work on everyone."
It was not pathos at all. I was pointing out the absurdity and weakness of his main argument.
"Moving from logic to pure emotion"
Never happened. You misread this entirely.
"and dropping so much at a critical time, IMO cost you the debate."
This is fair. I had hoped for more interesting opposition and so yes, I did slack off at the end. I 'phoned it in" and I get that someone could be annoyed by that.
I don't know your history, of course, but it didn't seem personally malicious to me. Especially because RM is not one to hold back. If he had a problem with you, he'd just say so, I think.
Also, with all kindness, your arguments were paper thin.
Yeah, I feel like he misread it. I would never argue that men are better planners, not even as devil's advocate. Just one example, but there are distortions all through the rfd imo. But it's true I slacked off in the final round, and military types can't stand arrogant-lazy energy. Hence the phoned it in comments, I'm thinking. 💜

The shivering child comment was sarcasm. Which I would probably have removed had I been editing and going all out. It's always best to remove sarcasm.
"You may want to Ctrl+F your own arguments."

The very first rebuttal argument you gave was a lie. You misquoted me as saying, "financial resources and patriarchal cultures,"
This would be a hard debate to vote on. I'm not eligible anyway.

Thanks for voting. I completely disagree! But thanks for the explanation.
I can't tell if you're joking or not. Time will tell I guess.
To be "safe"? From what?
"something" doesn't seem right? What something? RM's vote was almost flawless.
Thank you for your voting comments. Your depth of analysis is astonishing, honestly.
I'll address your arguments next round. Don't mind, I didn't see them before I posted.
Lol what? Oof. I thought i had to post first and only had 10 minutes. Got that wrong! I'm the real novice here.
Oh no! I thought you were arguing first! But it's me!
The rat race is also bad for society.
