this is so ridiculous. but what can one expect in a world that has turned upside down?
This reminds me of the Australian bakery (or was it in New Zealand, and it might have been a cafe) that was owned by women and exclusively employed women, charged women a cheaper price than they charged men. They said that since men get paid more, they can also afford to pay more. In case you guessed that it went out of business, you are right.
They’ve created a game with a tiny demographic. No man will play ever and only queer women will be interested. It’s clearly meant to be little more than a political stunt.
Please let us know about the blessed place where ladies are paid no less than gentlemen so we may all move there!!!
