Yesterday I replied to a toot someone posted.

@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.

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.

@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.
@crazyeddie ๐ซ we can always try to do better

@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. -
