Why the fuck do they need to prove they are just as worthy of respect? What in all of creation makes it ok to make them prove themselves that extra mile?

As I said to [@Penny], [i]everyone[/i] has the responsibility to prove their worth. No one is excused from that. But if you really want to dispel people's mindsets, blow them away with individual qualities. Again, and I restate this, this should be the goal for anyone but especially those who think they are at a disadvantage.

If one is not willing to do something that extra mile, in any task in life, perhaps it better they might not do it at all, but that is beside the point. So to address the rest of your statement, here is my counterargument;

[i]I do not care.[/i]

Seemingly heartless, I know, but giving anyone special treatment or added favor I find morally wrong. You can read it here from me in the past, but if there is to be any question on it, I simply am aloof to it. This is not to say I will not donate, assist or support, but that is under my own volition. I do not discriminate. 

I can sympathize with having a bad start, having that scenario played out as you described it, but if you told me that was your life and what could you do to improve it, I would tell you, "Go join the military." People don't like to hear that option of course, just like they do not like to hear "Go apply for student loans, just be sure to finish your degree and do a stint of internship or volunteering to get on the job experience and possibly a way into that work place." I could sit here and rattle back arguments - I could even argue the reverse racism or misandry I have experienced because of "diversity" mandates where less qualified candidates were chosen over myself.

My point is, will be as well as I freely admit my mind will not be changed, that there is no shortage of fighting and clawing people need to do for what they want. The challenges aren't going to be the same so cease comparing them.
