I think the author is spot-on when he talks about "debate as sport" vs. "debate as a sensitivity contest", but I find his obsession with "masculinity" somewhat... weird. He keeps saying that the "debate as sport" mode is the province of men, and the other mode is a province of women... because... I don't know why.
IMO it would've been a better article without the random essentialism.
