My thoughts exactly! Weird how it’s “cheating” to be a man playing against women in a non-contact board game, but in a physical sport all you have to do is say you’re actually a chick and people will defend your right to compete!
It's funny how this is another aspect that is never considered of how men and women are different as the main focus is on physical strength, endurance and durability.
I remember Milo spoke about IQ distribution on Sky News years ago. Essentially the bell curve which explains why there are so many male chess grandmasters but also why men fill the prisons.
Agreed, but I believe there is a correlation between IQ and impulse control, which helps avoid commission of—and therefore prison for—impulse crimes like hitting someone in a rage, or stealing something because it happens to catch your eye.

That doesn't sound right. Impulse control is industriousness, an aspect of personality. IQ is intelligence, which isn't a personality trait. There are intelligent impulsive people and slow diligent people.
As Paglia likes to say, there is no female Mozart because there is no female Jack the Ripper.
The male IQ distribution has a larger SD, so more geniuses and more idiots compared to women. Also, the mean for men is higher than for women. Not much, but it is.
Generally speaking, men need to be inventive because they deal with the world, where one brilliant move can potentially provide for generations. Women are dealing with small children, where "creative solutions" are...undesirable and consistency is more useful.
Video games reduce the physical strength and endurance needed in exchange for higher mental aptitude like strategies, innovations, reactions / body coordinations and staying focused under heavy stress, and guess what? Men still dominate that too. There was a famous event about a women only team trying to compete in a pro-tournament in League of Legends, actually practiced seriously and had professional coaching and everything, they never won any single match but won the record for fastest loss.
Maybe. I remember that there was a team that played against the women and got an "official warning" because they banned out all the best support heroes. They were called sexist because it was alleged that they were engaging in a prank based on the stereotype that women tend to play support characters.
Never mind that the women did, in fact, heavily main supports and that the targeted bans therefore showed that the male team had done its opposition research and were treating them seriously; as usual, the men were evil for not ignoring reality.
You know what's funny is the build up of "there's a woman's only team that was picked specifically that way and they got a lot of media hype only to set records for saddest loss" applies to a LOT of pro videogames.
People in the comments are coping with Ugandan women aren't allowed to be educated or something...ignoring chess is separated by sex all over the world
And maybe long distance open water swimming - due to the saltwater + female fat distribution. Rogan mentioned it a while back but it's difficult to find anything definitive due to its obscurity.
You just need to watch a man and a woman try to park to see there are clear differences in gender mental faculties. Men have far better understanding of space and distances in both literal and abstract sense, which are fundamental to a large amount of activities. And also why women can assume 5'10 manlet is 6'2 like he said without question.
Heck that difference is still so uncontroversial (so far) its still taught in undergrad Psyche classes where I learned it.
I like how the headline straight up says he "cheated" in order to win, when all he did to cheat was be a man playing against women
The only "wrong" thing he did was to not publicly identify as female first.

I thought by their own standards he won fair and square. He momentarily identified as a woman.
Hahaha! At this point it was obvious he had to be a man!
Self ownage jokes write themselves.

There are more unusually dumb men than unusually dumb women, but the pussy pass also plays a role here.
Prison is more about disagreeableness instead of intelligence. Men are more disagreeable than women.

Men are exceptional; women are average.

Was that the team where their opponents picked supports only as a handicap and still they lost spectacularly?

That was Rioters vs Pros. Supports got nerfed after that.

I mention it all the time, mostly because the “acceptable” response is it’s only because women are not pushed into chess as much…
People in the comments are coping with Ugandan women aren't allowed to be educated or something...ignoring chess is separated by sex all over the world
The most prominent female chess player who was allowed to compete with men got absolutely obliterated. The top female jeopardy contestant is man.
men are better than women at every thing except bearing children if they put their minds to it

I was being generous by allowing guys at 5'11 to even be considered human and not manlet.
In fairness to Magnus, Niemann has been caught cheating in the past so he may be onto something. The anal aspect of it is dubious at best though.
Wasn't he the one who also played much better when games were televised/ streamed?
Heh, he got the buzz
The TSA smiles as they get their latex gloves...
Buh, buh Muh Queen's Gambit!
This looks really bad in regards to how this points to women being mentally inferior to men.
