Why Are Women Inferior In Chess?

Everywhere, women are usually inferior (at least in chess), why is that so? Can you guys tell me? [Put simply: be nice-Mod.]

i never saw a female playing chess .. i always asked why ? i guess it is because that they don't like the game

It could be because women have less opportunities around the world to pursue a game like chess.  Their families and cultures may expect them to do other things.  It could also be that there innate differences but there is a lot of evidence for the former explanation and less for the latter.

in some ways its a boring game- trying to get people all upset.  "chaos" kid.

 

besides if your going to "troll" all the better troll guys will do you that you need creativity- you need a story and an attitude.

 

I think this falls short.

Women aren't inherently inferior, if that's what you're asking. Though, they are less interested in chess than men, statistically.

That's why FIDE and USCF always seem to be trying to encourage more female players to join—trying to find ways to make chess more appealing to both genders.

To be honest, chess is a pretty nerdy activity. You're more likely to find men getting obsessed with it than women—which would explain why you're more likely to encounter strong male players than strong female players.

But, when I do encounter dedicated female players? They're usually pretty strong. Most of the females I've played on this site have been titled masters, rated 2200 or higher on here. So, draw your own conclusions . . .

myself (despite this being a troll thread), there is something cool about playing someone who is different, isn't merely the average teenage kid.  there's not a lot of genuine personal connection around here- anonymity makes that hard.

 

but there is truly a lot of diversity.  a lot of people you couldn't meet "over the board" and people in very different places and very different people. 

 

rather than throw out a general insult ("women are inferior")- perhaps you could try to learn about people who you haven't met that are different.

So what if it's a troll thread? Sensible people are talking sense. Kind, senior citizens like you are trolling. Keep that to a minimum.

And you want me to believe that no staff saw this thread in the last hour or so? Aha.

EDIT: I see a mod has edited a post somewhere up there but thread still open. Bravo cc. I thought some guys here were exaggerating the incompetence and dishonesty of forum rules and what's allowed and what's not and bla bla...

How do you know?

Oh beautiful stuff, now we have the gandel moron too. Do you come from under the rock just when it's female bashing time? Because otherwise who knows you exist?

Ask your mom why she's inferior. That'll take care of this account at least.

women have been under the control of man for thousands of century. They have been deprived to go to war to fight enemy. man are always been sufferer at the hands of enemy and they believe that till the end of their life.As if women never suffer after their husband dead.That why feminism arrived to change the outlook of women. In either case man always suffer and woman always got abuses.
