Explanation:
The texts "Het Zwakke Geslacht" (The weaker sex) and "De Zwakken Geslacht" (The weak slaughtered, or The "weaker sexed) look and sound nearly similar in Dutch.
The first is often used to refer to women, while the latter is never used.

Therefore Dutch players would on first glance read the title incorrectly.
