Is not a question, just a statement ........ and I know I am going to get a lot of slack for this.....but its true :-)

do not, i repeat, do not feed the troll.

The word is "flak"--but not from me. Your statement, while not universally true, is an accurate generalization, and anyone who wants to cry fowl and give you flak about "stereotypes" simply needs to recognize that they are simply a kind of generalization, and that as long as a generalization is not universally applied, it is perfectly acceptable, and even quite useful.

With all of that said, it is well known that no woman has ever been a top contender in the public eye (the "public" public, not individual chess audiences), and the strongest players in the world have always been men. If anyone wishes to bring up any particular female players, by all means feel free. But naming one or two or three only serves to prove my point--if you have to specify a few unique individuals, it only further demonstrates their uniqueness--and any woman who is a strong contender at the elite level is indeed unique.

Bravo for having the candor (and kahones ;)) to put it to 'em straight.

Dude "threat_of_mate" you got too much time on your hands......but you right though, its true.

Prove it

The recipe is the most intelligent reading in this topic.

I'd like to make my own generalization.  Swedes and other Scandinavians are good with seafood.

Top men > Top Woman

Otherwise woman can be just as good. End of disscussion.

some girls are bigger than others

Some men are smaller than others, in more ways than one!

sexist alert!

Idiot alert! Stats don't lie!

stats do lie...  or is it lay?

Stats don't lie, only the way you tell them does ;)

After you solve that, can you also solve global warming? I hear it's getting pretty bad :P

But, how do you address the problem that the best woman is not as good as the best man, and never has been? Hence my point above.
