You press the button, all sexism and stereotypical gender role expectations are magically eliminated. Nobody's treated better or worse, even subconsciously, due to their gender. Does the gender ratio at open chess tournaments (given enough time to adjust) reach 50/50?

A lot of zero sum games with arbitrary rules serve as competitions to formalize a hierarchy of value. The purpose of this stratification is I think rooted biologically as a way for females to judge and pick. They’re kinda pointless headbutting in the end.
That chess is assumed to be something worth being good at feels like an emphasis on masculine values. The real inversion for humans is that instead of the feminine acting as ultimate judge, that role has been coopted by the masculine.
