              1. Falls apart when we look at interdependent actors such as infants or children
                1. Not really an issue when women get "personal value" from caring for their children
            2. Marketplace of Ideas
              1. Idea that best ideas will be incorporated because of their merit in a competitive "market of ideas"
                1. By this assumption current ideas would be the best of the best
                  1. Market is not fair to all ideas as it excludes the ideas of those seen as unworthy or unconforming to the ideas already entrenched
                    1. Creates cycle of problems enforced by problematic starting points
