Interesting to see all the offensive campaigns going on from Ukraine.

Attrition is a powerful factor often forgotten in war.

Lemmy armchair 5 star general recently completes Sun Tzu’s Art of War and thinks things are being forgotten about military tactics.

And yet here you are spending precious battery life not only reading them but responding! Enjoy being a clown your whole life.

If calling out dumb cunts who think that there is a physiological aspect to chess in which sex is the deciding factor in success is virtue signaling then yep, that’s me. I don’t have any suggestions for dismantling the entire patriarchy at the moment, you’ll have to forgive me.

I don’t give a fuck about your curious attitude, clearly.

Why would that be my suggestion. My suggestion is you lot need to learn how to fucking read statistics lol. I don’t give a fuck about chess, but I can tell you with 100% certainty that women are not worse at chess because they are women. The only thing the chess numbers prove is that men play chess at a professional/competitive level at much higher rates than women.

Whoa, watch out with that logical thinking around here. As has been demonstrated by votes in a comment chain of mine further up the thread, the number of women at the top of the chess scene is totally indicative of womens’ intrinsic ability to play chess. It has nothing to do with the amount of women who play chess vs the amount of men who play chess! /s

But yeah, it’s simple shit. If men outnumber women 100:1 in the competitive chess scene then obviously we expect women to be extremely under represented at the top. But misogynists gonna misogyny.

I weep for your (in)ability to interpret statistics.

I can’t help you to understand the difference between cultural statistics and physiological potential I guess lol

What you have just said is that there is a cultural difference and I agree with that. Dont confuse that with a difference based on sex, or physiology, in other words.

Obviously, men and women on a 1:1 basis have equal potential to excel at chess, based on their sex, right?

It’s a fact that for an athletic man and an athletic woman of equal weight, the man will be stronger.

Right. It’s not a fact that the man will be a more skilled or successful fighter (or insert any sports position here) than the woman based on strength alone, so why should we assume that it is?

There are tons of ways to makes sports more inclusive. The issue has never been “we’re all out of ideas,” but rather “we’ve tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas.” Also “tRaDiTiOn”

So is your argument that women are inherently inferior at chess or…?

The only concession I can think of is things like crossfit games or Olympic weight lifting, where raw strength is the one and only point, or so central to the point that it’d be pointless to have men and women competing against one another. But things that require strategy or finesse like most sports, and definitely martial arts, women could absolutely be top contenders.

As humans we have hunted mammoths together, gone to the moon together, created computers together, etc. I think we can handle throwing and catching the balls together too.

TLDR there are many more aspects to most sports than raw physical strength, which is the only physiological “advantage” men have over women.

Do you really have to ask…? It’s so obviously a bigoted decision, if real.

Because the whole idea of gendered leagues in games that ultimately don’t matter at all is about segregation and control, not physiology.

Bring on the down votes from the “but muh sports 'tegridy!” clowns.

Edit: some of yall need a class on statistics lol

Yeah because fuck poor people with addictions, am I right fellas? /s

Governments: starting wars that most people don’t want

People: starving because governments are at war and don’t give a shit about them

You: “Hah, fuck those people because governments are at war. They get what they deserve, those people who only want to eat.”

Imagine the amount of ignorance of history that goes into a comment like this. Do you really believe an entire continent of countries/people support or even give a fuck about Russia when they’re worried they’re going to starve?

The victim blaming in this thread is atrocious. All because of a perception that a few Africans support Russia on Twitter.

The fact that you think Twitter is reality is telling of your mental capacity/age. I’m glad to have participated in your crippling levels of butthurt, though. Look at you frothing lmao

I’m not here to argue with you. I’m here to point out your blatant xenophobia and how wrong it is. Have a nice day.
