I think the way it is planned is :
- Women make more money
- Therefore women have an inherent advantage
- Men realise they are struggling to win / keep up
- ???
- Reflection ensues on gender equality.
If you believe a group is priviledged, flipping the roles for a game to make the priviledged group realize how the other group might be struggling is not a terrible idea.
Is Monopoly the one who should be doing this? Is this the best way to do it ? Do you agree with the initial assumption of priviledge ? Debatable, though monopoly was conceived to show the problems of rampant capitalism, so you could argue it's in fashion.
