Free diamond membership for females.

I think girls and women are very underrepresented in chess' world. So I think it would be a good idea if Chess.com set up some kind of benefits for females. For example, chess.com should give free diamond membership to any girl or woman, so they can improve and play chess. Females should have another benefits as well: their rating should not be decreased if they lose a game. In a match, interface should provide some kind of help to them like show threats, potential captures and best moves when they play against men.  Females should also have the option to go back some moves, in case of blunders.

By the implementation of this measures, we can make chess more frienly to women. And they will feel more comfortable in this website. We all love girls and we should be feminist and fight for equality.

That's gender inequality, and against FIDE chess rules. Any member who have an account in chess.com must agree to the community guidelines. And if that happens, men will pretend to be women. They have to enable webcam access and mods have to repeatedly check whether a female member is on the computer or not. In this way, all the male members of a family can use it. Still I'm ROLF.

What you describe is not equality but gender discrimination. Funny, though.

Why not simplify the rules of the game for anyone, like they did it with exams at one US university?

LOL haha... hmmm thinking about that, i can say that you need to verify you are a literate cat who agreed to the community guidelines of chess.com. You must show your cat National ID and whatever needed for the verification.

I would just like to add that most feminists don't like to be prodded.

it insults the strebgth of women players when some bloke suggests they need help and protecting from losses in chess , you ne3ed to get out of the mindset that women are weaker because life will teach you they are strong too ,

respect

Great idea.  Also, whenever playing against women, men should have their allotted time halved, at LEAST.  To further increase gender equality and raise awareness, I also suggest allowing limited engine assistance for any woman player rated under 2400 or IM.  Best moves/lines would not be allowed of course, since that would simply be unfair, but 2nd, 3rd, etc. are certainly encouraged!  Better yet, automatic resignation by male players who have gained a +3 or better advantage.

OP:  You, my good sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.  A white knight with vision and clarity that the rest of us mere mortals simply cannot comprehend.

That is totally unfair! That is not equal.

Women at current are allowed to have the same rights as men! 

You are simply giving more advantages to women.

This is gender discrimination. But i would definitely agree to break the laws which women don't get the same opportunity as men. I guess there are none left at this moment.
