Youtube is full of such "So and so DESTROYS so and so" clips. For people looking for validation, they are a veritable goldmine.
I watched this, and while I don't think the woman debating Rubin came off well, I also thought Rubin was being obtuse, intentionally or otherwise, consistently insisting that the woman explain how she'd been oppressed, etc. never once acknowledging that the woman may not ever has suffered oppression personally (or whatever I don't recall the precise context, it's been a while) but this in no way prevents her from exercising empathy or concern for those who have. Rubin showed no inclination to acknowledge this self evident insight, while the woman in question also did a poor job explaining her position and also failed to acknowledge it. Rubin was showboating, not engaging in good faith debate (although to be fair, neither was the woman, who was a remarkably poor spokesperson for her cause.)
Again, it's been awhile since I watched this, and I don't care to watch it again, so if I got details wrong, sorry.
