Why all world champions are male?

Does someone has a good explanation? And one day will a women win the world championship?
I don't know, but can I presume you've heard of the Vera Menchik club? She was the first woman's world chess champion. Her entry to a major tournament was ridiculed, but the master who did so publicly was beaten by her immediately after saying it. Other people who joined this elite club included Max Euwe, Reshevsky, several leading British players and Sultan Khan, best known for his defeat of Capablanca.
A woman world chess champion would do wonders for the game of chess. I remember reading once about a notion that the "Soviet Chess Machine"... was going to produce "10,000 Lady Botvinnik's" Lol :]
Because girls almost never dream of being world champion at a young age. If you look at magnus carlsen, fischer, kasporav, etc. they all dreamed at a young age that they can be champion. Even look at fabiano caruana. He has been going to tournaments since he was a young boy non stop. Like as in 2/3 of the year he goes to tournaments since he was 12. All along he has been dreaming of world championship. Judit obviously did, but she wasnt groomed as much as kasporav and such back in the day for it obviously.
An utterly wild hypothesis, but it has some shit going for it I'd say
@ OP, I don't get the question. Current chess world champion is named Tan Zhongyi, a female from china?
