Guys, if you were the best quarterback anyone had ever seen?

A better example would have been "There are two quarterbacks in the NFL, both of which are incredibly talented. However, one QB is much better looking than the other one, and as such, he has a larger fan base and more endorsements. Is it fair that the better-looking QB has a higher pay, even though is of equal talent at his most important position (that is, being on the football field)?"

Basically the good-looking fellow has natural assets that will help him in life, and make him more integral to the financial success of his franchise - he's much more marketable. If he can bring in new fans by posing in his underwear, he deserves a better contract for doing that because he's got something extra that the other guy doesn't. While it's not exactly fair to the equally talented QB who simply isn't as good looking, it wouldn't be fair for the good looking QB to take less pay while bringing in more money either, right?

Basically your value as a worker is based upon you as a whole - there are countless ways a two workers can go about a task with varying degrees of success. Person A may be able to bring in a client simply by being charming and friendly. Person B may have to keep everything very serious and bring up the good points about how he will save the client money. If they perform equally, they deserve equal pay. If one outperforms the other, that person deserves better pay, and the means with which they get there is not relevant, provided it isn't in breach of proper business ethics.

Men and women alike can use their assets to further their careers. I don't understand your point about a woman using their assets being feminism though... From what I've seen, feminists want to take away one of many women's most important asset - their looks. They want women to be judged based purely on their intellectual prowess. While good in theory, the fact of the matter is that first impressions are incredibly important, and looks pay a large part of that, and therefore an attractive person, regardless of their gender, will always have an upperhand, and it's something that simply cannot be changed. I'm not implying a woman should dress slutty setting or essentially prostitute herself out, but if a naturally attractive woman dresses well and takes care of herself, more people will be drawn to like her. The same can be said of men, but probably to a lesser extent.

Like I said - people with different skills and business methods can have success at essentially any job. It's learning how to best utilize your assets that make you a more valuable employee.

That would pretty much be the end of your career. Dan Marino couldn't have thrown left-handed very well.

Your comparison isn't a great one. It would be a little better to say Marino would have to play defense as well as offense at times to make things more equal to put players on a level playing field.

As for the BQ, plenty of times men have been vilified for using (fill in the blank) to their advantage. It's not considered feminism because feminism focuses directly on helping women out.

to the feminism claim if a woman uses her assets - a woman's sexuality has been seen as dangerous for centuries - look at all the control that religion uses in that regard.

to the title vii claim

(l) Prohibition of discriminatory use of test scores

It shall be an unlawful employment practice for a respondent, in connection with the selection or referral of applicants or candidates for employment or promotion, to adjust the scores of, use different cutoff scores for, or otherwise alter the results of, employment related tests on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.

(m) Impermissible consideration of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin in employment practices

Except as otherwise provided in this subchapter, an unlawful employment practice is established when the complaining party demonstrates that race, color, religion, sex, or national origin was a motivating factor for any employment practice, even though other factors also motivated the practice.

it is not about making excuses for women - it states that one may not alter scores in order to discriminate against a potential employee.

Your analogy is against Feminism, you realize that right?

If you think the QB should continue to dominate and whoever can't step up will get crushed and left behind, then more power to your your anti feminist analogy.

Title VII makes it illegal to deny women positions, even when they are not as capable as a man. So basically your analogy applies...to men.

Edit: To elaborate, Title VII prevents employers from using tests that have a disproportionate impact on protected groups (curiously, "white men" are the only group that is not protected). For example, employers cannot administer a math test as a condition of employment because fewer women than men would pass. The only exception is if a statistically valid association between job performance and the test results can be established. But few employers are willing to pay for a scientific study of each tests they administer.

I dont understand your question, how can throwing with your right hand be "not equal" as you say, if most of the other QB's in the league throw with their right hands?

Yes. I would.

Because I'm ambidextrous.

Anything I can do with my right hand, I can do equally as well with my left hand.

BQ

Welcome to life.

Learn to get over it.

EDIT:

Oh geez, I sound like a dick now that I read over it.

Sorry for sounding rude. LOL.

While your attempt was cute, your appalling lack of sports knowledge really sinks your analogy. A more fitting example would be: "my team is allowed to tackle your QB, but you can't tackle mine YET still have to stop him from getting in the end zone."

You can thumb down my answer until the cows come home - it still doesn't change the fact that what I said basically obliterates the stated point.

Is this question in relation to the question by the girl who was talking about trading sex for commitment?

Its not a problem but women have been slandering men about all sorts of things for some time now, sexual slurs, defining us by the mentally ill among us, calling us shallow etc. while holding themselves up as saints, and now its changing because men more and more are calling women on their bullshit.

I'm all for women using their best assets.
