        Whenever I want to read some good feminist literature I head right to the comments sections.

        Long overdue - I won't say chess players are necessarily sexist, but a lot of stupid nonsense gets tossed around about women in chess (see: Nigel Short). Women just need opportunities to play and spread their wings - we'd see a lot more Polgars and Hou Yifans.

        Why aren‘t these girls playing against boys? It‘s not like chess is football and they‘re at a physical disadvantage. #makesnosense

        The implied message here is that boys actively intimidate girls. BULLSHIT
