The debate primarily focused on whether rights are merely concepts or have tangible existence, and whether men are the primary enforcers of rights in society. Andrew Wilson argues that rights don't physically exist but are social constructs enforced through the threat of violence, primarily by men, making true gender equality impossible. Duke contends that both men and women participate in the system that enforces rights, though he acknowledges men overwhelmingly occupy enforcement roles like police and military.

| @NickBybee | "It's really funny when people are not intelligent enough to understand they just kind of giggle like this guy does. I bet he's the type of dude that blows his own mind with his thoughts." | 44 | Humorously criticizes Duke's debating style, particularly his laughter when confronted with complex arguments |
| @2drinksIn | "This guy talks alot but has no logic. Andrew shows him how he's wrong and he returns with the female argument of 'I just don't see it that way' or 'my definition is different.' What a tool." | 19 | Resonates with viewers who felt Duke was avoiding concessions by redefining terms rather than addressing arguments |
| @IllD. | "11:45 - He doesn't even understand that a right doesn't physically exist. ... this is gonna be a long one." | 10 | Pinpoints a critical moment in the debate that viewers felt demonstrated Duke's fundamental misunderstanding |
| @CarlSidor | "Duke also doesn't understand the difference between civil law and criminal law. A tort is a civil action and not a criminal act. He is very uninformed.
