      Why would that be my suggestion. My suggestion is you lot need to learn how to fucking read statistics lol. I don’t give a fuck about chess, but I can tell you with 100% certainty that women are not worse at chess because they are women. The only thing the chess numbers prove is that men play chess at a professional/competitive level at much higher rates than women.

        I understand statistics just fine. Fuck you for “you lot”.

        I was asking you a question because I was genuinely curious, but you can fuck right off with that attidute.

        You’re just virtue signalling without giving any suggestions on how to improve the situation.

        Don’t bother replying, asshat.

          If calling out dumb cunts who think that there is a physiological aspect to chess in which sex is the deciding factor in success is virtue signaling then yep, that’s me. I don’t have any suggestions for dismantling the entire patriarchy at the moment, you’ll have to forgive me.

          I don’t give a fuck about your curious attitude, clearly.

            You assume everyone’s an idiot like you.

            In reality, you’re just a loudmouth parrot who never had an original thought in their head.

            Stop putting words in other people’s mouths and think for ar least a second. Engage the third braincel.

            Of course women should compete with men. Of course trans women should be able compete with other women. But that doesn’t mean they should be starved from prizes for a generation or longer, just because you’ve read a cool post on tumblr that said “abolish 👏 the 👏 patriarchy 👏”

            Classic keyboard activists with no audience, just yelling random shit they’ve read with their ears closed. Pretty much a shittier version of already shitty ChatGPT.

            Your replies aren’t worth the battery charge I’m spending to read them.
