Ok, why did you say men do chest thumping and women are catty?
Because the sexes tend to display aggression, status competition etc. in different ways. Are there catty men and chest-thumping women sure but bimodal distribution. Just like e.g. height.
I’m not going to argue with it being correct because it doesn’t matter. If the issue is aggression then it’s aggression, so just say aggression. Catty is also an insulting term. The league should have sportsmanship requirements and it shouldn’t matter how your aggression is presented or what gender you are when you are aggressive.
Catty is just as insulting as chest thumping. I’m very much equal opportunity when it comes to dunking on the sexes.
…and sportsmanship is a nice sentiment but people actually have to agree on sticking to it. Basically only Judo comes to mind when it comes to sports which will disqualify you for taunts and stuff and refusing to shake hands and, well, chess isn’t dominated by Japanese.
