Yesterday I replied to a toot someone posted. Their toot was boggling at how trans women were excluded from the challenging physical sport that is darts. My reply pointed out that chess is also gender segregated, at least at lower levels.
Lots of people replied to me asking why. And the reply is simple.
Men don't like being beaten by a girl. Chess is gender segregated to protect fragile men.
@quixoticgeek watch Queen of Chess, the Judith Polger documentary. 100% this.

@shaedrich @klegdixal @redjives @quixoticgeek Is there really enough money in dart playing that anyone can make a living from it at all?
@hllizi @shaedrich @redjives @quixoticgeek

@quixoticgeek And chess players can be especially fragile.

@RandamuMaki
because men didn't raise their sons right @redjives @quixoticgeek@iwein @RandamuMaki @redjives @quixoticgeek I'm 50. Recently went through a major breakup that lasted a year because I decided to try continuing to be a dad to her kid.
My dad's advice to me is still to immediately go out and find some new woman to get involved with. Or have at the porn. Thinks I should have hit the kid back when he started hitting me. Won't shut the fuck up about it. Never even gave a fuck about the kid when I was being a "dad".
He never taught me shit about wooing.

Apparently darts are like chess in that regard, it's either open or women's.
What i find fascinating is that open darts are dominated by men – at the moment the highest woman in the ranking is 77th.
A sport that, jokes about the ability to hold your beer aside, is about the hand eye coordination. Wouldn't have guessed.@klegdixal @redjives @quixoticgeek I think this can be attributed to games.
The games that boys and girls play are quite different. Not necessarily because they choose to of course. The very same thing happens in the younger ages and the girls teams are just not taken seriously.
When I was reading in college about the 6x acl tear rate, it was thought to be either this or something to do with angle due to the pelvis.
No practice hitting a little target with a thrown thing vs years of such.

@quixoticgeek I did not know pro darts was gender separated. I used to play in a dart league (My boyfriend LOVED darts, so I participated for fun, but could take it or leave it. We won the Manhattan Championship one year in NYC. For some reason the other team couldn't close bullseyes and I, for once, couldn't stop hitting the bullseye, which ran our score up.
)That is really odd that women are not included. Truly bizarre.
-
@HollieK72 @quixoticgeek that was apparently discussed, and women-only chess matches were the result of that discussion.
So there are no men-only chess matches but there are women-only matches.

@quixoticgeek@social.v.st "Men don't like being beaten by a girl. Chess is gender segregated to protect fragile men." and these men, in chess, are often beaten by literal children. Yet finding out a woman is better than them at something is going too far. -
