Invisible Pieces: Women in Chess

#156 I meant my reply as a joke. The discussion already has a political bent to it, so why not add the other guaranteed argument-starting topic: religion!

@Lukhas What's the chance of dying every time you get in a car? Zero or approximately zero? I move to ban all cars, they lead to preventable and terrible deaths every single day. Safety should be our number one concern.

OMG I AGREE WITH SO MANY PPL!! MEN ARE BEING ATTACKED AND LICHESS IS HORRIBLEEE!!!! MEN ARE JUST BETTER THAN WOMEN AND WOMEN ARE JELOUS!!! AS A MAN MYSELF, AND A GREAT CHESS PLAYER, I AM WELL INFORMED ON THIS SUBJECT!!!! STOP COMPLAINGIN!!! AND JUST DO BETTER !!!

Thanks for the strawman

The writer of this article was right to write this anonymously, judging by these comments. Privileged men with their blinkers on pretending a problem that doesn't affect them doesn't exist... like everything else

@FlamoToolz noone said that we were ofended with an article. We only said, that women could be better, if they would work harder. Ok in some countries, they treat women like s**t. I really feel bad for them. But in a lot of countries women have equal rights. some women just use sexism for excuse. If they have equal rights and options,there is no excuse for not being the best in a world.

@Shizwazoo if somebody want to be protected from the world and live inside a pretty bubble, activate the kids mode, in which you can't talk with anyone. As women can't be faced with real people, because there is one possibility in 200 that one guy is going to be mean, the mode should be called "women and kid's mode", because women are weak and can't face a shitty person. Women should also stay inside their houses, because outside there may be shitty people. Also, they shouldn't be in couple, because their couple could also be a shitty person. They shouldn't have access to the internet, couse there they might meet someone shitty. Really the possibility of finding a shitty person will make you live in fear?

#166 oh yeah, because women don't work hard enough, eh?

@Shiwazoo "What's the chance of dying every time you get in a car? Zero or approximately zero? I move to ban all cars, they lead to preventable and terrible deaths every single day. Safety should be our number one concern."

The difference is, you enter one car at a time. When the probability you care about is getting killed by someone watching, each person increases the overall likelihood somewhat. So, if there is one guy willing to do it, it doesn't get any safer for every hundred you add who are just harassing, but not doing. This is different from cars that can have accidents. If you have one unsafe product, then the probability of having an accident in a random car is reduced by every safe car you add to the mix. The equivalent situation would be to enter many cars at the same time and crashing if just one of them does.

@LuckIsNoSkill you sound pretty offended that someone brought up sexism. Tough being called out I guess.
