King Toppled From Throne by Gender-Neutral Card Deck
AsiaOne ^ | JANUARY 19, 2021

Within a few months, she had sent out around 1,500 packs, including to Belgium, Germany, France and the United States. Game shops have also shown interest, she said.

Mellink has been testing the cards out on players, who said they had never been conscious of sexual inequality in decks before. Switching would take some getting used to.

“It is good that we reflect on gender neutrality,” said Berit van Dobbenburgh, head of the Dutch Bridge Association, while playing with the new cards. It would be complicated to make a formal switch because that would require updating the rules, she said. “I wonder if it’s worth it. But gender neutrality, I am all for it! It’s great that someone of this age has noticed this. It’s the new generation.”

Feminazism isn’t about sharing power.

Too many “Girls rule!” “The future is female” “a woman needs a man like a woman needs a bicycle” t-shirts out there.

NOW was founded by a radical dyke who said their new group was founded to “take AWAY his power”.

Today the lingo is that men “must” sit down, shut up, go to the back of the bus, and forgo advancement int he workplace and let someone else have the positions of power “because”.

So now we have color rankings of yellow for gold, white for silver, and red for bronze? Why the need for colors? Why not use numbers? Further we know math is racist as well so scrap that.

Feminists should be shipped off to islamic countries for a year or two. IF they would somehow make it back, they’d be thankful for American men.

This kind of idiocy reminds me of something...

EXHIBIT A: A half-filled glass of water.

The Realist: That glass is at 50% capacity.
The Optimist: That glass is half-full! :)
The Pessimist: That glass is half-empty. :(
The Radical Feminist: That glass is raping me!

The oppressed don’t want freedom, they want to be the oppressor.

Human Rights Council (HRC) is the same way. Homofascists who want unelected taxpayer tribunals to punish businesses and despise Christians. Shared respect and protection of human rights are not their goals.

That’s why 3rd world revolutions just result in new kleptocrats.

Ever wonder why the supposed space aliens(whether grey or green) appear to be emaciated, gender-less, race neutral, sex neutered and never wear clothes?

They are us in the future and the last survivors are sent back back in time to warn us "This is how you F%cked everything up!"

The only problem is our "experts" think this is the solution to today's woes and we continue along this path cuz they are the future.
