Fixed, thanks!
It’s okay for a man in a woman’s frock to win a women’s event but it’s not okay for a man wearing normal men’s clothing to win a women’s event. You can see why people get confused! This hierarchy of oppression needs to be clearly stated somewhere so everyone knows where they stand.
I get that you’ve made a conscious decision to put out more far left wing ideological content that detracts from the actual poker content but I don’t think this made the women you put on here sound good. Dayanna (and the others) sounded very bitter about being beaten by a man & seemed to make a lot of derogatory remarks about someone that isn’t on air to defend themselves & a lot of these anecdotal points would be impossible to substantiate one way or the other. Congrats to Dave who took all this misandry & still managed to come out on top. They spent the entire episode negatively portraying men & describing going after one in particular by putting bounties on his head & ganging up on him at the table but still try to play the victim. Pretty mind blowing hypocrisy & double standards.
