Message: [QUOTE="Grossberger, post: 1499103, member: 55797"] Ok I was waiting for a few other responses before I chimed in. I think that giving men a penalty for plyaing in a women's tournament is not right. It's funny that in US most everyone wants gender equality, which I agree with but you can't have it by having a womens only tournament. If there were a Men's only event I would gurantee that women such as Vanessa Selbst (sp?) Annie Duke, Kathy Leibert and a few others would want to play to show they can hang with the men. It happens in other areas such as sports, a high school will have baseball for the men and softball for the women and yet there is gonna be a woman that wants to play with the boys. Look at golf Mens tour and Ladies tour yet a few women feel they need to play with the men. I personally feel since you can't legally keep men from entering the tournament then don't have a woman's only tournament. I mean as the title says its just a matter of time until a 21 year old wants to enter the seniors only event and they will have to allow it as you cannot descriminate against age. Another thing that just came up here in Ohio when they were setting the laws for the new casino's was they left out a diversity clause which I think is a good step. I'm not against racial equality either, but I am however against forcing a business to hire a certain number of minoritys to keep the business diverse. A business owner should be able to hire the most qualified canidates no matter what race they are. My point in all of this. If you want equality for women and minoritys then you have to quit making seperate rules for them. Having women only tournaments is saying taht poker is a mans game and women cannot hang with the men which is BS. Same goes for diversity let the business hire the most qualified people rather than a few qualified people and then people just to make "quota" for diversity if a minority is qualified for the job then hire them if not then they shouldn't be hired just to make it even. In no way is any disrespect intended in my ramblings so please don't take any offense. [/QUOTE]
