Woman creates genderless pack of cards without the king, queen and jack

Metro UK ^ | Lizzie Thomson

[ConservativeStatement]

When you think about it, there are some fundamental issues with a traditional pack of cards. Why does the male monarch automatically trump the female one? This was something that bugged 23-year-old forensic psychology graduate Indy Mellink, who was unsure why the king is given a higher value than a queen. So, she decided to go about switching things up, to challenge the sexual inequality in a playing card deck that ranks men above women.

Stylish.

Why is gold always given more importance than silver, which is so vital to industry. And poor bronze, always coming in third.

[ConservativeStatement]

Yup. Why is the “L” listed first in the LGBT community? Sexists according to this woman’s plight.

[DoodleBob]

I’m surprised the #2 card wasn’t replaced with the elderly since the Dutch love their euthanasia.

Why is gold always given more importance than silver, which is so vital to industry. And poor bronze, always coming in third.

And yet in the military, silver outranks gold.

Wait til this nitwit gets hold of a chess set. Oh, wait. In chess, the queen is the most powerful piece.

[17th Miss Regt]

In Chess, why is the Queen the most powerful piece on the board?

"You know, Jim, this idea of playing with only 16 pawns may great for equality, but it is deadly boring. It is simply a bloodbath."

"Joe, it gets better when you see my new board. It's round so there are no exclusionary corners!"

[Thommas]

Yay! Now life is perfect..

[SamAdams76]

Isn’t the Ace of spades the trump card?

Don't you know you are triggering this poor woman even further by bringing up the "Trump" cards?

[fruser1]

And when no one buys them, the gov will pass a regulation forcing casinos and the like to use them.

[Mouton]

Gee they would really be upset with the Italian card game I played as a kid. Rank was A 3 K J Q and then the face cards.

[Migraine]

Any ace and any face = black jack. Why black?

[Lizavetta]

Imagine having a life so easy that this is a concern.

Exactly. Can't imagine an engineering or comp sci major having this idiotic thought rattling around in his head.

[bk1000]

“ Why is the “L” listed first in the LGBT community? ”

They are the meanest and scariest. It ain’t like in the movies.

[9YearLurker]

Should have just converted the ace to an empress dowager.

Old chestnut:

“Balls, said the Queen, if I had two, I’d be King!”

[crusty old prospector]

Next will be “Old Maid.”

People who say "It's harmless" or "I don't care what they do in private or what they market" are short sighted imbeciles who have no grasp about the damage universal suffrage can cause when traditional mores and logic go out the window in society. This "enlightened discovery" could trigger another idiotic cancel culture movement for instance, especially the way the press are going bonkers over this feminist.

We are close to hitting the bottom of the barrel by being ostracized for using the wrong pronouns in this world today. Of course, "I don't care what they do in their bedroom/privacy" asinine libertarian mantra enables this stuff because not enough people are pushing back. This is the same reason why "political correctness" took hold, "None of my business" (Until politicians, who take advantage of their (Legions of them) infantile emotional state, start latching onto these ideas as they appease the degenerates to shove a perverted and ruinous hegemony down society's throat).

Well, lady, you are a 115 years too late. The cards you want all have numbers. It is called a Rook deck, invented by Parker Brothers in 1906.

Oh, by the way, it was invented for Puritans and puritanically minded people who think regular playing cards are sinful. And the radical left of today is simply that, secular Puritanism. Puritanism/Pietism always leads to radical progressivism. Just take a look through history. That is where we are heading.

[Verginius Rufus]

It looks like hearts have been replaced with cherries.
