Why is there a women poker tournament - this is not a physical chalange and why is this part legal:

Nevada also prohibits poker tournaments from barring men from entering women’s tournaments. The World Series of Poker’s Ladies event is a $10,000 buy-in tournament with a 90 percent discount for women to deter men from entering.

The man entered just to show us why. :)

Keeping emotions in check can be key to poker games. I've personally found myself walking away from a tournament with no money because I let someone get under my skin and made bets when I should have stayed away from that pot. Women are known to be less emotionally stable in general.

Do women lag behind at math too? There's a lot of math in poker especially if you are playing higher level tournaments.

But why? Is not physical, so is just the presence of a men around them to much for them? That sounds very sexist.

Because it isnt just physical challenges where there is a disparity between men and women. What would happen 100% of the time if Magnus Carlsen entered a women's chess tournament, for example?

Pretty much the same thing as when he enters a Mens tourney.

Chess is the other thing. I'm very interested to understand the logic from someone on the left

Because women aren't just physically weaker.

Yeah, our man here needs to do a bit of research into bell curves.

The emperor has no clothes. Women can't compete with men.

Men are better at every objectively measurable task than women. Up until 150 or so years ago this was common knowledge and society was organized around this principle.

Now no White man can say it in publicly and keep his job.

Because saying the harsh truth out loud makes you a social pariah.

Because the statistical differences in capabilities are not just physical. Idea that men are just stronger is female chauvinist cope.
