In the same article

In September 2019, Hasbro unveiled a new version of its classic board game “Monopoly” that gives female players an advantage by paying them $40 more for passing go. The new game, called “Ms. Monopoly,” is supposed to be an effort to draw attention to the so-called gender wage gap

Honestly just fuck them, this world is going to shit and I hope it goes faster rather then later.

When does "Dis be monopaly, ya kno' what I'm sayin'?" come out? Where if you're black you just win at the beginning as reparations.

paying them $40 more for passing go

So they aren't even promoting equal pay, but quite literally that women should be paid more?

Implicitly, it means they think them inferior since they expect them to need more to keep up.

The globalists are balls to the wall now after the past 4 years, and especially the last year, and the useful idiots just see one feel-good issue at a time, incapable of stepping back and seeing the big picture death-by-10,000 cuts.

And sadly the majority of the world are useful idiots. 80-85%.

I don't think that $40 extra dollars is the difference between how much money women collect from the government vs men.

Bullshit gimmick for a silly "alternate" rule someone pulled out of their ass. I guess once you've made Monopoly out of everything on the landscape, such silliness was only inevitable.

Hell, I remember when Free Parking was officially just that. Nothing's supposed to happen, and all fines were supposed to go to the Bank, but the "kitty" idea was a house rule that spread.

Just thought of that, the "kitty" is socialism I guess. Government claims money and instead of doing useful shit with it like building roads (or obviously fake useful shit in Monopoly), they just give it back to the people for doing nothing but sitting around.

I always liked playing without that. That money is supposed to be a drain on the economy for one and it turns the tide for a game when someone else played it better.

Fuck them anyway, Monopoly and Battleship weren't created by them, but they still patented them.

A gender neutral Potato Head also means half as many to sell. Like selling the combined edition of a Pokemon game at the start of the generation.

In December 2019, the company came under fire for its “Nerf” brand toy guns. Activists and critics demanded that the toymaker pull the “assault style” toy weapons from shelves.

I bet you anything there's a HUGE gender gap in membership in that particular group.
