The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.top10pokersites.net\/reviews\/americas-cardroom\">Americas Cardroom<\/a> ambassador called it out, saying allowing such comments and merely downplaying them as an opinion is one of the main reasons why the poker environment has become toxic. <\/p>\n<div style=\"position:relative;height:0;padding-bottom:56.25%\">\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ptDFeZs07xQ?start=8301\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"position:absolute;width:100%;height:100%;left:0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Defending his moderator, Ingram said he allows everyone in his community to say what they want to say. After a few more exchanges, and after realizing Ingram favors freedom of expression rather than filtering out toxic comments, an irritated Kenney, who is a well-known women in poker advocate, finally decided to end the interview.<\/p>\n<p>She then took to Twitter to express her disappointment at what happened, questioning why women always have to answer for the behavior of men. She argued that \u201c<em>allowing members of the poker community to refer to women as \u2018bitch'\u201d only pushes female players further away from the game<\/em>.  <\/p>\n<center>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">1.
