"Your value is what you can get" is a useless tautology that purely serves as a thought-terminating cliche.

When someone says this, that means that they are either extremely dumb, or just trolling and trying to shut down the discussion.

Yes, your market value is what you can get on the market. DUH. But here's the other important part: society has a conception of what the "default", healthy state of a market SHOULD look like. If a market has significantly deviated from this, by default we assume there's a temporary distortion in the market that ought to be fixed. The other option is that something about society has fundamentally changed and we permanently need to readjust expectations of what a healthy state of the market looks like; and if this is what you believe, you need a compelling argument for it.

For example: if the price of gas becomes $50 a gallon, people will think something is wrong and want to talk about it. By default, we think that it's unhealthy for the price of gas to be $50/gallon, and we'd need to find a way to bring it down. You should either engage with this discussion, or have a compelling argument for why we SHOULD now be fine with gas being $50/gallon. Saying "well, the value of gas is what you can get it at" is stupid and unhelpful.

Just like how in the relationship market, we have a default expectation is one of assortative mating. "Leagues" represent the strata people would be in if assortative mating took place. If men are consistently batting below their league while women are dating above theirs, the default reaction is that something is wrong with the dating market and it needs to be adjusted. If you don't think so, you need to argue why assortative mating is now fundamentally dead, and why you think this is a good thing.

For anyone with a brain, everything I've said is pretty obvious. I think the meta-question is more interesting (I might make a separate post on this if it turns out to be an interesting discussion): why do bluepillers constantly spout this stupid thought-terminating cliche? I find that this just fits into the broader trend of bluepillers trying to shut down any and all systemization of gender dynamics and the dating market, with the singular exception of the feminist systemization.

I'll focus on women here, since most bluepillers are women and most women are bluepillers (male bluepillers are usually just white-knights or female-brained men). Regarding women, my hypothesis is that there are two competing subconcious mechanisms at play here: first, the female disgust at social ineptitude, and second, the female drive for social power.

Regarding the first mechanism, most "normies" simply go along with the social flow, fit into society, and intuitively understand what social role they need to play; so therefore, the systemization of social dynamics is subconsciously associated with social ineptitude (hence the term "autistic" being thrown around), which evokes an emotional reaction of disgust in women. Regarding the second mechanism, I believe that just like men, women also have an instinctive drive for power. The difference is that while men gain power via dominance and direct competition, women gain power via social manipulation and covert competition. In modern western society, victimhood is power, so the female drive for power manifests in self-victimization to the fullest extent possible- precisely what the feminist movement promotes.

So women DO feel a subconscious disgust at the systemization of social dynamics that feminism/wokeness is based on, but their drive for power via self-victimization overrides this. (That's also why the philosophical foundations of critical theory were created by men, while female scholarship in the field is primarily responsible for warping it into the reductive victimhood narrative we see today. I highly doubt Foucault, Derrida and Lyotard would approve of modern wokeness/feminism.) But as for the Redpill/manosphere systemization of gender dynamics, which CHALLENGES the feminist narrative of perpetual victimhood? It both evokes the disgust reaction in women AND takes power away from them. It's only natural that women want to shut it down ASAP- hence, the excessive use of thought-terminating cliches.
