This made me laugh because of how nonsensical it is. Thanks for the laugh.

There is one difference though. Every once in awhile, I run into what I like to call, a good ole' boy. I can spot a good ole' boy the minute he realizes that he's about to play me. His eyebrows raise for a second. Shock is his first reaction. Then smug self-assurance. He doesn't think I have a chance against him for a second. I inwardly groan every time.
What a ridiculous assumption to make about one's opponent? Intelligence isn't worn. You can't see it immediately. Yet instantly the good ole' boy is sure that I'm not going to be a good chess player.
A scurry of different things run through my mind. Of course I long desperately to beat this guy. I want his respect. I want to change how he thinks about people. I also just want to win. On the other hand, what happens if I lose? Do I fail all of womankind? Am I just reinforcing stereotypes? What if I win and he just says its because of my appearance? I weigh my options.
Part of me does want to run. Why dignify such an opponent by playing? He obvioulsy doesn't see me as a valid opponent so why should I see him as one?
This is, quite possibly, the dumbest thing I have ever read. I don't even know where to start. I guess first, you make dozens of assumptions that all amount to what can only be interpreted as you literally think you can read people's minds based on a single facial expression? And then you act like the victim because you assume that he thinks you're bad just because you're a girl. You're criticizing him judging you by your appearance (which you have no legitimate reason to believe he has) and yet you admit that all you're doing is judging him by his. To quote Billy Madison:
"what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."
How would you losing fit a stereotype? People lose all the time. The only way in which your involvement in chess has let down "all of womankind" is by your continuation to post these self-involved, narcassistic forum posts. I really just do not get it. At all. It infuriates me with how much I do not get at all what you are whining about. Literally nothing happened but you sat down at a board and guy made a facial expression that your brain went on a mile-long tangent about how he obviously thinks you're stupid and bad at chess or something. I do not get this. Someone please help me. Am I missing something? Am I just being an ass? Is it really not that ludicrous?

If you can fart on command you are my hero.

I'm not surprised that with your level of intelligence or lack thereof that you are completely incapable of understanding the OP's argument. She explicitly stated that she is tired of men constantly underestimating her during a chess game, not taking her seriously, and not giving her the proper respect that they would give to other male players just because of her gender (and also because she is pretty). And, unlike you, she happens to be pretty on both the inside and outside.
The same point applies to other areas of life, not just chess.
I bet that's not even your real pic. btw you are pathetic.
She clearly understood it... any fool could see that by reading her posts. She merely disagreed with it.
Nice muzzle.

Actually, she (TRex) seems pretty astute to me ... not by virtue of this comment but because of the high level of her posts in toto.
What's toto?

I don't know either, but Urban Dictionary has some hilarious ideas. The top answer is female genetalia.
I'm going to offer a suggestion to the OP that I don't think anyone else has mentioned. That being asking your opponent to review the game just played with you in the skittles room or where ever is convenient.
Post mortems of games between adversaries over the board can be educational & enlightening. For instance, if your opponent brushes you off with an excuse of not having the time (unless, of course there is truly a short period before the next round), then he or she is not worth your time anyway.
If you get somone to engage you with a post mortem of the game, then you have the opportunity to assess not only your thinking but theirs as well. You will also be talking about the game & you will find that that conversation reveals whether or not your opponent (male or female) is truly a jerk or someone that might be a friend in the future.
Try it and see how it works out.
This is certainly an interesting thought. I will attempt to go over the game afterward more often. Usually I'm very nervous to approach someone who has been so hostile though.
