While Candidate tourname is going, i replied to one of tweets of woman Gm Susan polgar about why women GM's are so less in comparison to men.She acknowledged & said to read some tweets about mens' attitude of fighting over anything and do women wanna deal with that?. 

Well today's world women are behind in almost all aspects than men, at least chess can be a exception.Women should come forward in brain games.To put it in a nutshell women are integral part of our world(daughter, mother), because of them we are here!, So we should assist them all the ways.

We are here because of a father and a mother, not just one of them.

And they are assisted, they get more prize money at some tournaments than the men, and they have their own tournaments as well.

This is no longer universal. (unless you consider sperm donors as "fathers")

If they want to compete let them.  No one is stopping them.  If they aren't comfortable they are also free to avoid it.
