Chess is about chess! What Hou did in her last game was a ring bell that something isn't going right.

 

Hou Yifan played the game of the tournament. She been awarded from the organizers the prize trophy of the best game but she didn't show up to collect it and that is a bigger sign of disguss from pushing g4 and f3. She believe in her protest and what she did. 

 

Someone who plays such a game and then protesting with g4 and f3 must have a reason.

She has a right to protest if she thinks she,s expected to play mostly women, it implies women are inferior, and can/should be ignored.

Chess should be above such things.

She shows she has the same attitude about women players with that move doesn't she.She is saying hey quit putting me with those inferior players,I am better than women players.
