It is not gay, it is masculine, it does not hurt women, so christian right likes it. That it also hurts playing men does not bother christian right either, they will blame women and gay for that anyway.

I mean, we can reach gender equality in this one too, but overall, men are still more of direct victims.

Women are still more of indirect ones - harmed more by having relationship with gambler and ending responsible for debt due to marriage.

Domestic violence incidents go up when hometown sports teams lose. This effect is amplified with gambling. Women might be less likely to lose their wealth than men, but they are still likely to be victims of the ecosystem.
