Statistical Analysis on Gender Difference

Another troll thread lol

Hm, alright then.

Well, if we're talking biblically, then Scripture makes it clear that women aren't adept in battle/war.

"The mighty men of Babylon have ceased fighting, They stay in the strongholds; Their strength is exhausted, They are becoming like women; Their dwelling places are set on fire, The bars of her gates are broken."
Jeremiah 51:30 NASB1995

"In that day the Egyptians will become like women, and they will tremble and be in dread because of the waving of the hand of the LORD of hosts, which He is going to wave over them."
Isaiah 19:16 NASB1995

These passages (and a few more) indicate that soldiers being weak and afraid in battle is being "like women." Does this refer to physical strength? Or does it refer to wartime strategic ability? Or both? It doesn't say. All it indicates is that soldiers being "like women" will negatively impact their abilities in war.

Men and women are definitely equal, but they are also definitely not the same, and have different strengths and weaknesses. I don't think we can make a biblical case one way or the other about how gender plays a role in chess, but we can make a biblical case that (generally speaking) men are better at some things than women are, and (generally speaking) women are better at some things than men are.

# 97

but while im waiting, i will pull up a few more points, mainly. it seems the only example of what "women are better at" and "what men are better at" are that of your own parents, take a look outside of that and you will find much different results for things.

ok i didnt see you guys there

#106 then why do we acsept women in now? was the belief that "oh women are weak" just a escuse to not let them vote? is this not the claims masogonists use to "justify" doing what they do? as for #103 those 2 examples do have one explanation, that being it could have been translation issues.

The word translated as "women" in both of those verses is נשים nashiym, which literally means "women" XD It's the same in modern Hebrew.

besides, ive looked over @ronarprfct claims, the only examples he has provided is that of his wife being good at a set of tasks, and he hasnt even brought up his example for "men being stronger in general" and before you immedeatly put mike tyson, he TRAINED to get there, anyone could train to the strenght theoretically.

This word can also mean “wives” or “females,” but those are really the only possible definitions of the word.

It is true that neither strength nor intelligence give a human their value. Their value comes from being made in the image of Almighty God . That is true of men AND women.

#112/111 okay, hm, i see.... i, did not mean to cause much of a fuss here...

There's a ton of actual literature on this.

Bilalić has a bunch of papers, and they generally show there isn't much difference, and its largely due to participation.

The one linked here suggests that women may actually be better at chess in that the women who play maintain higher rankings with less effort than their male counterparts.

The question of gender differences in chess performance is complex and multifaceted. While chess is indeed a game that primarily involves mental skills rather than physical prowess, there are several factors that have historically contributed to the perception that men perform better in chess than women.

One factor often cited is the difference in participation rates. Historically, chess has been a male-dominated activity, with fewer opportunities and support for female players. As a result, there have been fewer women competing at the highest levels of the game. However, this is changing, with efforts underway to promote and support female participation in chess.

Another factor is societal attitudes and stereotypes about gender and intelligence. These stereotypes can influence the way boys and girls are encouraged to pursue certain activities, including chess. Cultural norms and expectations may also play a role in shaping the confidence and competitive drive of male and female players.

Additionally, there may be subtle differences in the ways that men and women approach and think about chess. Some research suggests that there may be differences in cognitive abilities or preferences that could influence performance in certain aspects of the game. However, it's essential to note that these differences are generally small and don't imply any inherent superiority of one gender over the other in chess.

Overall, while there may be historical and cultural factors that have contributed to differences in chess performance between men and women, it's crucial to recognize that individual ability and dedication play a significant role. With greater opportunities, support, and recognition, there's no reason why women can't excel in chess just as much as men.
