Can we take a break from pseudo-science and look at the obvious social issues involved?

Every GM, whether male or female, has spent the majority of their life playing chess. Thing is though that at a certain age chess is social suicide. That is somewhere in the teens - the exact point in which coaches note the uneven ratio of male to female players. HOW ABOUT THAT? 

"You mean it's social suicide for a girl to play chess? Why golly gee this was not covered in number theory! You mean they're worried about looking like nerds?" Yes friends, I have blown your mind. 

"Wait, there can't be stigmas about intelligent woman out there? Surely the chess playing girls are at least accepted in the chess circle? Oh wait - maybe that's why every discussion about women in chess turns into some debate with crack-pot theories about IQ. Maybe that's why men go into super-mega posturing mode whenever a smart woman is even mentioned." 

And what's the easiest way to avoid all this crap? I'm sure you can put two and two together...

Social sciences are also pseudo-science. Well in fact they are not science at all. they just attached the word science because of an inferiority complex

If males are female dominated, then they dominate the chess of males by proxy...

No more surefire way to become hated than to speak the truth in logic with evidence to back it up.

You do that and give people no actual logical recourse? They resort to personal attacks.

And this is when you know you've pushed some buttons and maybe opened some eyes. Or at least nudged the door ajar that they may take a peek at reality someday.

*laughs uproarously with victory*

Resignation accepted!

Across the board, resignation accepted!

You may find that things are the opposite of what they appear. I don't spend all my time socializing on the internet. I just state facts and truths here. I haven't developed the skills of persuasion by lying and ego-marinating on the internet that are the hallmark attributes of morbidly obese pseudo-intellectuals in dimly lit basements, like TitanCG.

I color coded it for you.

I have found the opinionated, along with their opinions and also some @$$#0l3$ in this thread. I took the liberty of starting the @$$#0!e$ list here on the left. Feel free to add them as you see fit...

I think I need to edit my earlier post. I made an oversight. I forgot a special distinction for chauvanists...

Pawn-structures solid in theory do sometimes create weaknesses overlooked because of lack of comprehension.

SIP's profile has an interesting (but obvious) contradiction. He claims to be an intellectual but then adds that intelligence is all that matters, something that a true intellectual would never believe, let alone say. Rest easy if you're a serial killer with a high IQ - you're the cream of the crop in SIP's opinion

His profile, and attitude in the forums are what inspired post 759.
