Hasbro celebrates women with 'Ms. Monopoly' game -- and pays them more than men
Fox Business ^ | Frank J. Connor

Posted on 09/10/2019 10:47:53 AM PDT by conservative98

“Ms. Monopoly,” as the new game is called, aims to celebrate women trailblazers and “while Mr. Monopoly is a real-estate mogul, Ms. Monopoly (who is apparently Mr. Monopoly’s niece) is an advocate whose mission is to invest in female entrepreneurs,” according to Hasbro’s release statement.

The toymaker also addresses real-world concerns over wage disparities between men and women, by disadvantaging male players in the game, saying “Ms. Monopoly is the first-ever game where women make more than men.”

MEET MS. MONOPOLY! Mr. Monopoly's niece, a self-made investment guru, is here to celebrate women trailblazers and update a few things. It’s about time! pic.twitter.com/ETSBK7TtWj— Hasbro (@Hasbro) September 10, 2019

I don’t remember women collecting less then the standard $200 for passing “Go” on the original game so why the $40 difference with Ms. Monopoly? Looks to me that there was more equality with the original.— GreekyGeek (@Dion78) September 10, 2019

Tbh I think it's pretty terrible that Hasbro thinks women aren't smart enough to spend their money wisely and need their help to be competitive.— Double A (@DoubleAUB) September 10, 2019

Ikr this is stupid and just makes people think feminism is bad. It's not, but its stuff like this that enforces that stereotype.— Akanksha Kaith 💗 (@AkankshaKaith) September 10, 2019

Wonder how well it will sell. Probably popular with radical feminists but maybe not so much with average women.

Men will probably not be playing it so that slices 50% out of their customer base. Not a good business option.

I hope Hasbro has planned for the money they will lose on this debacle.

“Not a good business option.”

They still have the standard edition. It probably cost next to nothing to put this together. So, they’ll get the feminazis to buy in and some limp wristed liberal men. Meanwhile, it signals how virtuous Hasbro is in their product offerings.

Not a huge downside, unfortunately.

Well, they'll sell at least one to single issue radical feminist NorDUH O'Donnell. If a story doesn't have a feminist angle or a TDS message, she won't air it.

This is an admission women can’t compete with men on an equal footing.

That is why the cartoon girl has a smirk on her face.

They know that they get a leg up on their competition.

This just shows how dangerous it is to have a single company producing the game “Monopoly”
