As if didn't cause my gag reflex to go into overdrive. I just found over at. It's PINK POKER NIGHT: IT'S A CHICK THING. Wow. Here's how University Games describes the game:
O. K. ladies don't listen if any knucklehead tries to tell you that poker just isn't a chick thing. Just toss him a conjoin of raw meat and tell him to go away while you pick up the telecommunicate and call your friends to come on over because you just got Pink Poker Night! With this fun complete and just-for-you poker set you have everything you and the gals need for a rollicking good girls' night in. Includes deck of playing cards. 200 poker chips invitations and envelopes party recipes and rule book. We're betting you'll just love this game set! For 2 to 8 adults.
The manufacturing company. University Games claims some contradictory things on their "about us" administer of the website. ". University Games has been creating educational board games designed so that players won't notice how much they are learning!" and "We constantly seek to keep our products contemporary through new product development". Educational? I beg to differ. This has nothing to do with education. Perhaps they are only referring their large inventory of award winning children's games of which I would be curious to read the girls'/boys' game descriptions to rate the sexism saturation. How can UG boast "contemporary" games when this is the trash being marketed? And I undergo to ask party recipes? Did I construe that right? What exactly does that mean? Perhaps an hour in the kitchen beside the oven? Or maybe complicated cocktails! Amazon says this game is recommended for ages 21 and up but I can't understand why University Games is talking to the "gals" desire we (or should I say "they" because I really don't feel desire an intended audience somehow) are 10 years old! "rollicking good girls' night in"? Yeah recipes and sexist stereotype bullshit sound like a real rollicking good time.
And "a chick thing"? I just can't accept that every sentence of this promotional carve up is ripe with stomach-churning demeaning language (including tossing the "knucklehead" *man* a piece of "raw meat") as a marketing ploy to attract women (again over 21) to buy this product.

Because women's work is never done and is underpaid or unpaid or boring or repetitious and we're the first to get fired and what we look like is more important than what we do and if we get raped it's our fault and if we get beaten we must have provoked it and if we raise our voices we are nagging bitches and if we ask our adulterate too many questions we're neurotic and/or pushy and if we evaluate childcare we are selfish and if we stand up for our rights we're aggressive and "unfeminine" and if we don't we are typical weak females and we still can't get adequate safe contraceptive but men can walk on the moon and for lots and lots of other reasons we are part of the women's liberation movement.-Joyce Stevens written for Women's Liberation Broadsheet,International Woman's Day. 1975.
