Battle of the Sexes and the Timing Couldn't Be Better

The Guys vs. Girls Dewar's Debate will kick off at the Middlesex Lounge tonight at 8:00 pm. RSVP to debate@viceland.com. 21 and up only.

We said we were going to lay off Cedric "Cornbread" Maxwell after he joked/said/jested that referee Violet Palmer should "get back in the kitchen."

Maxwell's comment raised a small ruckus, so you might feel like venting about where you stand regarding the eternal battle of the sexes. If you want to share your opinions over drinks with others, then visit the Middlesex Lounge to hear Gabe Liedman and Jenny Slate argue for their respective genders.

Oh, and the debate is sponsored by Dewar's, which means free scotch. It's also sponsored by Vice Magazine, best known for its scathing Do's and Don'ts and loved/hated shock value, which means you'll get your scotch with a chaser of caustic wit.

Given the atmosphere, who knows what you'll hear tonight? But we're hoping they'll bring up the subject of female referees in the NBA and the announcers who watch them.
