Negative Positive
Title: Not as "positive" for girls/women as it claims to be ...
Review: This "game" purports to empower women. Many of the scenarios on the cards, however, simply reassert social and sexual stereotypes: one, for example, suggests that "women" often want to cuddle with their husbands but are afraid that their husbands will believe they're initiating sex! I'm not quite sure who the "WE" that the creators write about in the introductory pamphlet is, but I would hope that most women would find the self-stereotyping and overgeneralizations that this game depends on to be offensive or at least unsettling.Not only does it suggest that all women regardless of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, etc. are united by Western pseudopsychological self-esteem issues, but the game also pushes alternative medicine, suggesting on one card that there are "alternative ways to healing," as though being an empowered woman necessitates buying into pseudoscientific theories of medicine.
Is the review positive or negative?
