		<description>It is so horribly obvious from this comment that you simply do not understand the way society works with regards to sexism, racism, any -ism.  Speaking here as a woman with a background in this area, yes, we can hold our own against men. Women aren&#039;t inherently lesser or inferior, especially not with something as silly as a poker tournament. We can hold our own against men, BUT society as a whole is completely stacked against us when we try. The culture is stacked against us. That&#039;s the problem, and the reason for women&#039;s only events. Pay attention to those parts in this essay about patronizing behavior from men, hostility, basically knowing we aren&#039;t wanted there and facing discrimination and sexist behavior because of it. You&#039;re probably a white man with no idea what it&#039;s like, but believe me when I say no one wants to deal with that, for any reason. When we try in traditionally male-dominated places like this, we face backlash that is uncomfortable and embarrassing at least, and physically and emotionally harmful at worst.  
 
Just think about everything in the larger context of American society, which is a society stacked in favor of white heterosexual men, and stacked against minorities and women. And quit concern trolling. </description>

		<description>I suggest that you read &quot;Delusions of Gender&quot; by cognitive neuroscientist Cordelia Fine. It is brimming with peer-reviewed scientific literature that demonstrates that all psychological differences between the sexes are societally based, and that the bullshit pop-psychology that everybody loves (about the different planets that women and men come from) is based on pseudoscience and misinterpretations. </description>

		<description>It is not legitimate, as it it is one big strawman. It&#039;s best to read the post before making a comment. </description>

		<description>You act like it&#039;s impossible for women to be successful at and enjoy poker when men are playing. Yes, it&#039;s more difficult, but that&#039;s life. 
 
There are successful female poker players. And to be honest, women hosting their own private tournaments in a sheltered environment just makes their gender look bad and makes them look weak. They&#039;re insulting themselves if you ask me. 
 
 
 
&quot;Oh boohoo, I don&#039;t have a sense of humour and can&#039;t stand being teased (what they fail to realize is that men make fun of everyone for everything. It&#039;s called light-hearted banter.). I&#039;m scared to play against big bad men. Women only!&quot; 
 
 
 
If they want to do that, fair enough. But firstly, it is still discrimination against men and secondly, they shouldn&#039;t expect to be treated &#039;equally&#039; and with &#039;respect&#039; if they keep doing things like this. 
 
Bye.

		<description>My favorite description of sexual harassment is things that men do to women that we wished they did to us .  That is not true I have been on the receiving end of female sexual work place abuse and can empathize. Men are not the only perpetrators of this kind of activity.Power corrupts everyone !   </description>

		<description>Wow! It appears that when males are discriminated against, it&#039;s not discrimination. That&#039;s real convenient, but obviously pseudointellectualism. About what you&#039;d expect from dishonest feminists. </description>
