See Guru, this is the core of our debate.guru1000 said:Exactly. But my argument is not the market as a whole is crap. That's a hard burden to prove, which you took upon yourself.
I would state instead the market of women is congruent with the value one brings to the market. After all, it is a marketplace.
When someone gets up and complains about how a particular "group" is operating, no matter if that group is the job market, a real estate market, or a group of women within a particular country/region/state/locale, the question comes down to is the problem something that's limited to THIS particular individual....or is the problem something that's a mass epidemic?
- Black Man In 2015: For example, a black man complaining today in 2015 about "the job market" in relation to why he can't find decent employment, usually gets responses re-directed BACK to him as an individual by pin-pointing how other black men are making it who are qualified and thus, he must lack some level of competency or qualifications. Further examinations would be done on the black man's qualifications, interviewing style, networking style, skills, passions, etc., to see if he is lacking the competencies and other resources to succeed/compete in today's market. In a nutshell, no one would believe it's a mass epidemic, they would believe it was something limited to this INDIVIDUAL'S situation and would seek to find the holes/problems in his situation so he can change his results.
- Black Man In 1942: But rewind this back to 1942 with a black man complaining about "the job market" in relation to why he can't get hired. You have massive discrimination, segregration and hatred of black people in general running rampant in the US. No one would re-direct this black man's claims BACK to him by doing individual examination, they would totally understand that he is dealing with a mass epidemic that was beyond his control.
So this is where the core of our debate is.
- When a guy gets up here and discusses "issues" with this market of women, is it ALL related to his individual situation in relation to what he's doing or not doing? Like Guru believes?
- Or is this a mass epidemic that's beyond his control "for the most part", like Tenacity believes?
