Why Chess.com is not a safe place for women

Nope lol

You care, and you're trying to help, bro. That is good. But the problem are the acts of violence made by men against women here on chess.com. Sexism, misogyny... when reproduced they perpetuate and can aggravate the gender inequlity already in place globaly wise. That is why the aggressors must be identified, not lost in the mass. The streets are for everyone, and I want my daughter to walk safely through them at night, just as my son does. Otherwise she will be losing her rights to live the city with the same possibility and freedom as my son, just because she is not a male. Get it? Once I was abused here by an around 12 years old boy because I was too slow on a blitz game. This kind of relationships with the other, with the different and the difference... right now is the time he starts to consolidate his nuclear values and the principles the will guide him through the complexities of the socializations he now must live, pretty much broader then when he was a little one interacting with local school and few neighborhood, and he will carry this ethical and moral stem, finally shaped within a couple of years, throughout adulthood and so on. Same education now and it will be very, very dificult to change. Really not something to laugh about, to say the least. I wonder what the boy would have said if I was Maria instead of David. Oh, maybe what his father and uncle use to say?

Not letting me respond, sry

This is why when I play chess online I keep the chat closed and don't accept messages from other than friends

im the opisite, thats prolly why i got 1500 and counting

I've actually never seen something so well written. This. This sums everything up. Don't separate the victim, get rid of the offender

Good luck doubt that's a option vpns are thing unfortenently blocking and reporting is the best option

You can't stop trolls when they want to troll

Liberals these days have gone absolutely crazy, I never said we should not get rid of these men, we should, but that would be extremely hard, and they will come back, while they are here will you protect yourself, or just blame chess.com while your situation stays the same.

If only it were that simple...

The whole premise of the thread it is dumb. A waste of time!!!

total "I'm a victim" pure crap!

Has anyone ever heard of the Block Function ????????

And if you were stupid to give your email out... again there is a block function. Never ever use your real name on the internet 

You do realize the Republicans are even worse with it right ? Don't bring politics into this and it's not like they are wrong either it's just that it's not very plausible to do

We actually don't count on the government to protect us #2nd ammendment

Have you ever heard of an armed woman who knows how to do self defense get abused badly?

I don't see the point ? It doesn't particularly matter unless your in a dictatorship and they would try to make it illegal in a dictatorship anyway And when it is a democracy just vote out the people you don't like

You realize the other dude can have a weapon to....

Criminals go for the easy target, feel free to answer the question.

Well then just stay in large groups

Besides guns aren't that helpful in close combat when someone sneaks up on you anyway

Besides your average kitchen knife would prob do just as much damage

Guys!!!

Chess.com is not safe for women only because of @BasixWhiteBoy

I really can't disagree with that, he needs to be muted.
