“Indy Mellink, a Dutch card fan, was explaining a game to her cousins last summer when she asked herself: why should a king be worth more than a queen?”
“The 23-year-old forensic psychology graduate, encouraged by her father, decided it was time to break with the centuries-old tradition of sexual inequality in playing card decks that rank men above women.”
“she designed a genderless deck in which the images of a king, queen and jack were replaced with gold, silver and bronze.”
Can you imagine in a home poker game instead of saying “quad kings..read them and weep”, you say “4 gold bars...read them and weep”? Who would want to play in that game?
Why not go full woke my making a trans card where the queen is a actually a king and vice versa? At least that’d be some funny shite.
What’s with the obsession with everything has to be equal? What next? Making the winners give money back to the losers at the end of the Poker night so no feelings are hurt?

Why do you say "king me" when you make it to the other side? Why is only the "King" allowed to move forward & backwards?
Will you be allowed to jump the black checkers?

good point. Checkers promotes white supremacy and patriarchal hierarchies that must’ve be abolished.

If a country has both a King and a Queen, the King is the superior. It's just how it is. That's why the king in cards is valued as superior.
Dumb assholes these days just have to make life more complicated. And society makes these people famous for it. fricking attention whores!

Not what I was expecting.
I thought this would be a deck of card with RuPaul and Richard Simmons as queens.

How does she think silver and bronze feel when gold beats them every single time? Metals have feelings too.

Is she suggesting that women can't be kings and men can't be queens?
What a nazi

Nope, since the black ones go second. That's racist.

Because women are physically inferior to men, have significantly smaller brains and gender specific hormonal endocrinology makes them behave in irrational ways.
Surprised she never learned any of this in her forensic psychology classes.
