The quality of a discussion often depends on how closely the parties attend to the same issue. For the passage below, determine whether the speakers are clearly disputing the same issue, or whether somebody is missing the point.A: Have you seen those advertisements for striptease dancers for private parties? That's exploitative and insulting, if you ask me.B: Oh, take it easy. They have male strippers for women's parties as well as female strippers for men's parties. So it's not as bad as you thought.

What will be an ideal response?


Different issues. Whether stripping is exploitative and insulting is different from whether men and women are equally exploited and insulted.
