What's your motive in having these debates? What do you ultimately hope to achieve? Knowing a person's motives could really help discern whether or not they're likely being honest or not so I think this is a good question to ask anyone before you even start the discussion. Sure they can lie about their motives but I think asking the right questions would challenge them, especially if you're face to face having these debates. I don't get good vibes from most people debating these issues but I am curious to see what they will say.

I personally suspect many people are doing damage control and are looking to deceive one another. More and more truth about relationship dynamics are coming to light and many seem threatened by it. I also believe they are looking to unjustly sabotage the opposite sex to gain the upperhand. Maybe I'm wrong though. Can you explain in detail your motives and goal in having these discussions? What drove you to partake in these discussions?
