First off, you think we're just normal chess players. But then we have to deal with false accusations of sexism from female wannabe chess players on a regular basis and even false accusations of sexism from actual female chess players. We must always be on guard to make generalisations about our female counter-parts but they are free to do so to us as much they please.
Then, the pressure is always on us to perform better because the female chess players who falsely accuse of sexism will be like "OOOH! Snap! You got beat by a GIRL!" if we lose.
Pressure, false accusations, etc. It's difficult being a male chess player.
