In the new game of Monopoly, women make more than men

(CNN)Tired: Mr. Monopoly. Wired: Ms. Monopoly.
One of America's most recognizable board games is getting an upgrade. Hasbro is debuting a new game celebrating women's empowerment -- Ms. Monopoly, marking the first time in Monopoly history when a new mascot will be featured on the cover of the game.
The twist? In Ms. Monopoly, female players will get more money.
quote:
Unlike the classic game, women will collect 240 Monopoly bucks when they pass "go," while male players will collect the usual 200. The idea is to create a game where women make more than men, the first game to do so, according to Hasbro.
quote:
That's not the only difference, though. Instead of buying property, players will invest in inventions created by women -- things like Wi-Fi and chocolate chip cookies.
quote:
The announcement of Ms. Monopoly comes a few weeks after the company received criticism for Monopoly Socialism -- a tongue-in-cheek game that sparked debate for its flippant handling of socialism.

All this bending over backwards to be PC pisses me off.

Okay, I’ll see your sexism. For the duration on the game, I identify as a woman. Your move, BITCH.

So they’re admitting that women need a handout to be more successful than men. Not very empowering.

Monopoly just released a Socialism version that intentionally bankrupts everyone so I don’t think they’re SJWs.

How woke of them

Monopoly likes screwing with people. They did the socialist version and the millennial version. They've been pretty equal with their taunting of whoever they can get a rise out of with the game.

I don't recall the original Monopoly game having differences based on sex.

They going to do a U of Alabama version?
