This is a universal argument against debating any controversial topic.

I don't think anybody argued here that one shouldn't debate whether evolutionary psychology is correct. The only thing that's argued is that this debate isn't primarily that claim.

On LessWrong I also consider it a bit strange to claim that the question of whether evolutionary psychology is correct is a controversial claim. In this venue it's a quite boring consensus claim.

"There a way that would allow evolutionary scientistis to be better at communicating their science to the public" is a controversial claim on LessWrong.

In my experience, the typical feminist complaint is that the evolutionary psychologists don't debunk correct but "sexist" evolutionary psychology.

So? I don't see how that negates anything anybody argued here.
