Is chess anti feminist?

Another brand new account.  *Maybe* you are a legit one?  If so, you need to chill.  The forum has existed long before you arrived, and will be here long after you are gone.  You should probably concentrate on more important matters to you, like re-establishing the proletariat. 

You are delusional

You have got on the wrong way

And it’s not my fault

Posting multiple consecutive one line posts is considered spamming, and will buy you a mute, eventually.  Just an FYI.

Sure, telling people what they should be doing, encouraging them to not participate in a public forum, all the while making bad arguments and being toxic, these are the hallmarks of the low IQ intellectually lazy and incompetent leftists.

Again it’s  not my fault the fact that you can’t understand that what you were doing is nonsensical is not my problem

Do you actually play chess? or just shed tears of oppression on the forums? 10 years on the site and 150 games played? Now doesn't that seem incredibly strange...

Do you play chess?or just talk about things that don’t make any sense, again for the it’s not my problem that you cannot understand the importance of certain other things what you are talking about is not important, chess is not antifeminist, it is a game to be played between two people, it is a strategy game, the fact that you cannot realize that is not my problem The equivalent that I can give to this argument is trying to prove that the earth is round to somebody who thinks it’s flat

Actually, it's an established fact that in the U.S. people voting for parties on the left have higher average education levels than those voting for right leaning parties.  That matters little, though, because I am registered independent, and am not a leftist.  You guys really can't hang in discussions without your straw-men, at all.

     As others have noted, when international chess competitions were first organized, society's opinion was that women were "the weaker sex" (we can see here that many still cling to this view) and not fit to mix with men in most competitive activities. Men's clubs, chess clubs, coffee houses and taverns, where much mid-19th century chess was played, were "off limits" to women. Even when chess competitions for women became available, females couldn't hone their skills vs the strongest male players, so when mixed tournaments originated there were very few women players.

     So chess was seen as a mans activity, boys were taught the game and girls were not, and virtually all very strong players were men for many, many years. FIDE started regulating worldwide chess and introduced ratings and titles following WWII. To recognize top women players, women's titles were invented, but the fact that women couldn't get invited to strong tournaments and earn high ratings by playing the high-rated men meant that women's rating requirements were lower. As recently as 1978, long-time women's world champion Nona Gaprindashvili had to get a special ruling from FIDE to get the regular GM title--she had fulfilled the requirements for winning and rating but could only get invited to sufficiently-strong tournaments totaling 23 games (24 were needed). Even after earning the GM title she was invited to so few top tournaments that she had to continue to play mostly in women's events to make some money.

     Mixed tournaments have become more common and most top women players of the 21st century play in mixed tournaments. Still, even a player as strong as Judit Polgar had trouble getting the Hungarian chess federation to certify her entry to the candidate's tournament because "women already have their own world championship". 

     FIDE periodically adjusts the requirements for GM and WGM titles and hopefully the two will eventually be the same. One great barrier holding women back is that in many nations (such as Saudi Arabia, Iran, etc) there are strict laws against the sexes mixing in activities like chess tournaments, so separate titles are still necessary.

Classic, you both went for the same non-argument at once.  Worse for Bully, since he was just going off about ad hominem attacks...

I believe Martin Luther King existed

A part of it ismost women have families and less time for chess

 Segregation is illegal, am I wrong?

If that's your entire statement without any qualifiers, then yes, it is wrong.

That is not what I told you.  Be more precise in your perceptions and thinking.

Martin Luther King Jr. (born Michael King Jr.; January 15, 1929 – April 4, 1968) was an American Baptist minister and activist, one of the most prominent leaders in the civil rights movement from 1955 until his assassination in 1968. An African-American church leader and a son of early civil rights activist and minister Martin Luther King Sr., King advanced civil rights for people of color in the United States through nonviolence and civil disobedience. Inspired by his Christian beliefs and the nonviolent activism of Mahatma Gandhi, he led targeted, nonviolent resistance against Jim Crow laws and other forms of discrimination.

King participated in and led marches for the right to vote, desegregation, labor rights, and other civil rights.[1] He oversaw the 1955 Montgomery bus boycott and later became the first president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC). As president of the SCLC, he led the unsuccessful Albany Movement in Albany, Georgia, and helped organize some of the nonviolent 1963 protests in Birmingham, Alabama. King was one of the leaders of the 1963 March on Washington, where he delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. The civil rights movement achieved pivotal legislative gains in the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Voting Rights Act of 1965, and the Fair Housing Act of 1968.
