This post is not as “DEBATABLE” as my earlier post and may consequentially be viewed as inflammatory, but it is NOT. I have read (in my Ravenous appetite for all things chess) that women can be just as good as men at chess, or that a woman may one day hold the title of World Chess Champion. That makes me UPSET beyond words. I am here to ONCE AND FOR ALL declare that those things will NEVER EVER happen. EVER. There is no chauvinistic tone in my voice whatsoever. It is a FACTUAL as saying that a man will never ever ever breast feed an infant. It defies the LAWS of HUMANITY. Here is why:
Note: I could write forever on this, but I will paraphrase the key points. Also, there are innumerable articles backing up what I say. Find them yourselves, I wont hold your hands anymore. Now, let’s get down to brass tacks:
It all starts the evolution of the species from tens of thousands of years ago. Males evolved differently. We were the hunter/gatherers. Females were the nurturers. Males have the killer instinct--it is INNATE. Now, this is not to say that females cannot be killers, but they are not NATURAL born killers. Chess is WAR.
Females’ brains do not work in the same way as men’s. Men are instinctually more ANALYTICAL. The continuation of the species depended on men solving problems and inventing things. Women are more FEELING oriented. They raised the children, managed the relationships, and understood EMOTION. Feelings and emotions get you NOWHERE in chess.
This is not to say that a woman cannot excel in chess. They can. But as I earlier posted, they will never achieve ELITE status. Please, do not misunderstand me. I am not disrespecting women, but I AM disrespecting anyone who feels that a woman can rise to the TOP of a field that is PREDETERMINED to be controlled by a man. You may as well say that one day the 3 toed sloth will displace the cheetah as the fastest land animal. AINT GONNA HAPPEN.
Heck, POLGAR is only rated 2693, hasn’t even broken the ELITE 2700+ mark. And a “paltry” 2693 rating gets you ranked tied for 34th place on the men’s list.
