There seems to be a bias in the opinions of people regarding gender and gambling. Most persons in my locale consider gambling as something more appropriate for males than females, who made that a law?
Why the bias? should gambling be only for Men?
I can't give a much detailed statement from my point of view since that's not what happening in our place.
Why gambling is treated like that there? Why is the question just asked now? Are you new on your local or been there since birth? You are the one who can understand most why gambling is being treated like that.
Maybe the community there has a reason why gambling should be off-limits to women and females there.
