              That our society didn’t even let women take part in marathons at one point and the first time someone did that was by just taking part without making clear that they’re a woman and they’ll be themselves taking part in it. You can draw your conclusion from that

              If there’s no difference in sports or shit with men and women, shouldn’t we just have one division?

              I would think so, yes. I’m no expert on either lol.

              If a sport that doesn’t depend on physicality still has separate divisions ( literally chess) what does that mean to you?

              What is it supposed to mean? I have no idea why it’s like that. Here’s a relevant wikipedia article. I don’t know why you’re asking me this lmao, but I didn’t come here for an argument. I made a joke. Peace out ✌️

      You must be a troll account because a human capable of literacy asking that question honestly is beyond comprehension.

        Rude. Are you proud of your insult? How does that help the conversation? If a human doesn’t understand something, it is because they were never taught. You had an opportunity to educate someone about something you know. You had a chance to spread knowledge. You chose to insult them.

      If there’s no genetic advantage for men, why did Chess have separate divisions?

      The ACTUAL answer is misogyny. Chess was(and still is tbh) a very misogynistic “sport” back in the day, and many male professional chess players refused to play against women, and the ones that did play against them were often crude. To try and get more women interested in chess, women only divisions were created. It has literally nothing to do with genetic advantages.

      I can’t speak for chess, but in gaming where there’s similarly no sex advantage, female gamers are rarely seen at the higher levels because the environment is very hostile towards them. Creating a separate women’s league would alleviate this to some degree and encourage more women to actually try to reach for the top.

          Top teams won’t even consider a woman. I recall years ago applying for top guilds in World of Warcraft. I logged onto TeamSpeak for the interview, said hello, and was immediately rejected because “women are too emotional to work with”.

          A woman might be the best player in the world, but the sport doesn’t respect women and will deny her a platform .
