Because rules in which the king is everything but the queen is just another piece is sexist and backwards. Should be the other way around.
I just have no idea why women don't want to stick around in this forum.
Having been a chess player since age 6, and having played a number of games with the opposite sex, this is a very easy question to answer. The female mind just does not function the same way. Whereas there might be a few good female chess players, you will find that these few women were chess trained from a very early age. With lots of practice from an early age, you can change their mindset.
I've also found out that if you give one of these women chess players a female dominated type game, they will not do good at it.
Softball and pole dancing.What are examples of female dominated type games?

What I'm saying is that if we were to pit all of men against all of women at anything, the men would record far more Ws than the women just because more of them will try harder to win. It's stupid animal nature in the end, so I don't know how proud we should be of it, but it probably drives a lot of innovation as well.
I agree with this theory and honestly I think that is why second wave feminism lost so much ground in society that for a while feminism was almost a dirty word. The second wavers were much more aggressive about making it a competition between women and men, and men of the our society responded by basically saying "oh this is a competition? then you lose."
That is what is so important about third wave feminism. It focuses on women's issues without dismissing the tradition of sexuality's place on the power structure of society.
Men have superior upper body strength that allows them to force chess piece moves that even the strongest women would not even be able to attempt.
Wait, isn't third wave feminism basically saying that unless women are represented equally in all forms of media/# of employees/and similar shit, then you're being sexist?
Because I think third wave is the dumbest form of feminism yet.
B/c I hear having a vagina makes you worse in math.

Same reason there are other leagues just for females -- they can't compete with males.
Ever watch the wnba?
Not even remotely true. Professional male softball players would utterly destroy the female players. Same for pole dance, as far as physical abilities go. It wouldn't be nearly as ascetically pleasing (to me, at least), but the males would be better.Softball and pole dancing.
That's a bunch of nonsense. I would guess that it is probably because it isn't something that women are brought up with. I bet if more women played chess from a young age and studied the game they could be just as good at it as men.
I have yet to see professional mens softball and despirately do not wish to see men's pole dancing.Not even remotely true. Professional male softball players would utterly destroy the female players.

I dunno. In chess the king is important but weak and the queen is his most powerful defender. She's far more powerful than the king in terms of her abilities in the game. Seems like a pretty evolved idea of gender roles to me.
