Doesn't calling someone's manhood into question, or at least their securities about it, inherently involve a value judgement about "manhood"?  Isn't that exactly the type of perspective you're trying to tear down?

As much as this topic has been done to death, the OP was questioning what is a clearly established discrepancy between the sexes in the participation levels and the representation at the top level of the game.  Is this discussion really off limits for men lest we have our respective "manhoods" called into question?

Maybe aliens play chess like in star trek, who cares who is better.

I'm not whining by any means. I'm never going to be brilliant at chess but I don't think that it is gender related. I play for fun. I was just wondering what other people thought
