LOL!
I think "Mens Rights Activists" should be banned from the internet
Just look at the source of the article... A bunch of losers who feel
discriminated because women have the same rights as men nowadays...
They basically just project their self-hate on women and blame feminism
for not getting a job, when in reality they fail in life simply because they are stupid...
Rest asured that the motivation for this article was that the author lost his monthly paycheck
to a woman in a casino. Probably by calling her raises with thin air, thinking that he can easliy outplay
any woman...
Here's a more interesting article about why not more women play poker:

On the contrary, women have to be increasingly included in the game of poker because it is a sport for all sexes. I am happy to see more and more women playing poker because it was played mostly by men, and even today most players are male, but in a few years I believe it will be half and half hehehe

That's my guess too. Say something completely crazy so people read it and get upset. He got his clicks. The number of people that agree with this trash is insanely low, this is by no means an even remotely popular opinion.

I had the very strong feeling from the beginning , that this would be a garbage article to read , a total waste of time , but since OP mentioned it at the threads' opening post and asked for the opinion on this particular article , I felt obligated to read it if I wanted to post and contribute in this thread, in order to judge it right and make a truethfull comment .
I started reading it . Until the point where it says that many (most??) women in poker are bought , not just brought , on tournaments by their '' sugar daddies '' . Do I really have to read all the rest 3/4 of this garbage link ?? Better if you had asked generally what we think of people saying that women don't like playing poker , or of people saying that they are not good at poker , or those supporting they shouldn't play poker at all , it would be less time consuming . Very easily the answers would follow as simple as '' not true '' , or '' sexist bias dogmatic opinions and predispositions '' (many men saying these , maybe the only good thing they recognise women are good at is sex , also cooking in the best scenario , probably they don't have enough sex in their life , maybe no sex at all , but they feel capable and righteous to express such opinions ....) , or that '' it's not scientifically proven '' or similar answers would MOSTLY follow up .
Spend one more minute to read this nonsense .. I don't want to read it even if this was the last article, thread , book page or whatever in the world ..... Simply just cr*p ..

good night dear, in my opinion i find it ridiculous in the middle of the 21st century to still have these kinds of prejudices against certain classes regardless of which one it is, i believe that we are all equal all capable women took a long time to get their space in social equality, in countries with brazil practically everything man does woman also does but unfortunately there are still some cultures in the world that treat women as a certain object depriving them of having their voice, I hope this is just a sexist commentary without foundation poker and a game of reason and luck that the best wins and that women never stop brightening the tables

Poker is a game of intelligence and skill. If women were banned from poker, that would be a statement saying that men are smarter than women, which is absolutely not true! In fact, I hope that more and more women continue to play poker and other games dominated by male participants in general.

it's some kind of sexism. poker wanted to equate to Olympic sports and wildly hear something like that in the 21st century. This is a game and everyone has equal rights. If great women had time for poker, such articles would not appear in principle.

Wow, some mental gymnastics that writer went through to cope with his insecurities. I study computer science, area of science where you can similar rhetoric often. People seem to forget that one of the first programmers was actually a woman. Ada Lovelace.
