Why is this game so male-dominated?

It's not necessarily stupid, just simplistic. In general I think there is correlation, but there are lots of other things that go into it, so you can't settle the matter just on size. Not to mention that intelligence is very broad and hard to define.

it requires brains not beauty

either men are smarter in terms of iq or close to no women play chess. I think it's because close to no women play chess since every chess tournament or club i've been to it's always almost all boys.

Women are smarter and have better things to do

Y’all realize that just cause someone has a bigger brain and an 8th grade education
doesn’t mean they’re smarter than a woman with a PHD
Smartness is related to education not brain size

what a stupid thing to write. imagine if i wrote that men are smarter. or that hindus are smarter. or that gay people are smarter.

statements like this are pandering.

yes, there are differences. trying to automatically accept everything where all minorities are somehow superior in every way does not work. equality means equal.

a larger brain does not equal iq or eq, just as you wrote. it's funny how people think that a large brain equates to knowledge. maybe it's movies of martians with big heads that have influenced many.
