Fact: The existence of WoEs in an activity where women can compete as equals is degrating.

[/ QUOTE ]
no
[ QUOTE ]
Fact: They only have WoEs so that they can "have women winning bracelets" at the WSOP. In that sense, it is an insidious kind of affirmative action.

no

Well, isn't this a brilliant discussion.

[/ QUOTE ]
It's not brilliant at all. Even most idiots know subjective opinions can't be facts.

[/ QUOTE ]

But fortunately, you aren't like most idiots.

[/ QUOTE ]
So, lacking a counter argument, you instead go for insults? Not suprised.

[/ QUOTE ]

Wait a second.. you make a backhanded insinuation that I'm an idiot, I make a better backhanded insinutation, and I'm resorting to insults?

After all, I didn't insult you in the least. Albert Einstein is also "not like most idiots". But if you're so defensive that you choose to parse that as an insult, I can't be responsible for your low self esteem.

[/ QUOTE ]
Yes yes we all know. However you still have no argument other then you don't like it.

[/ QUOTE ]

Lol.. get caught chewing me out for doing the exact same thing you were trying to do, which shouldn't be a surprise since your entire counterargument was "no".

At any rate.

Fact: Women want equality.
Fact: Segregation by gender is contrary to the notion of equality.
Fact: Segregation by gender, therefore, is only appropriate as a necessary evil.
Fact: Having a championship event segregated by gender implies that it is a necessary evil, therefore it implies that women are biologically inferior at poker.
