my favourite genre of videos is woman grandmaster playing random guys and they become pissy toddlers when they lose,

Exception that one rough looking guy who took it so well, he absolutely enjoyed seeing such an amazing player in action. That guy should be the standard for masculinity.

They do not want to protect women, they want to put themselves in a superior position to other women. Because only they can be the proper women. Affluent, white, cis, abled women. the rest need to be put in their place.

I think the gender separation in Chess isn't there because anatomical difference.

but to encourage women to play more, given some chess clubs were sausage parties. so whatever terfy reason about any 'advantage' doesn't apply.
