How does this make sense, woman are equal to men in combat positions, but they need their own events? Or are you trying to say they are not equal to men in combat and that is why they need their own events? Just once I would like people in poker and the military to stop making women out to be victims. They are as equal poker players, warriors and have the same ability as any Soldier to fend off a sexual assault.

Women feel soooo scared in regular events by all the machotalk at the tables, we need this event to play the way we like. That's such a great argument. I mean, if you want to play for 1k you just want to talk with all your new girlfriends about girly things, rather than actually play the game. I have sat with douchebags at the table. I also don't like machotalk, 'raping' and such. But that is because these people are douchebags, not because they are men.

This idea that women who never play will only play when there are no men around is just absurd. How do you think such a thing would happen? 'I want to play poker at the WSOP this year, seems like a nice game. To bad that all these... men are playing, I guess I won't play then.' Just like they live the rest of their lives I guess. Shopping for groceries at a female only store, because men might talk about sports in a regular store? Do you really think there is a woman who won't play a poker event because of men entering it? I don't get it. But that's just because there is nothing to get. Women are smarter than us and use there gender to get pity from men.

Another great example of how smart these gals are is women tennis. Notice how women have foughtlong and hard toearn the same price in tennis Grand Slams, but still play 3 sets, whereas the men play for 5 sets. Never was the argument that women are just as capable of playing tennis as men, and should be allowed to also play 5 sets, to show how well they are in this sport. I guess that is not something worth fighting for. Men. We are dumb.
it's funny because you prove the exact same thing you're sarcastically arguing against in the very statement where you claim it.

guys give each other crap all the time whether playing video games, poker or anything competitive , whether it's their best friend or some guy they've never seen. so do women want to be treated equally or given a special treatment?

Whatever the progress in society is, poker is still at least 90% male.
I understand the will to expand the market and get women involved at all costs.

The moral debate regarding the existence of the Ladies' Event is quite pointless considering that this is an obvious business decision.
Having said that we have to remember that affirmative action is temporary. I'm not a huge fan of quotas or restictions, but for smaller issues like a single tournament in a strongly male community I support the idea.
