Titled Arena Announcement

@Sarg0n I really dont know what you mean by that?

Men aren't more intelligent than woman, thats why I consider different titles as retardet. Whats your point?
It is weird that women get a lower prize then men. It's aperent we are still in 1000 bce
@Chessboardbreaker Men arent smarter than women, but much fewer women play chess, due to social factors mostly. Additional prize pool is for encouraging more women players, not belittling them. That's it.
@CtripleA Ok, I can understand that, but it's still problematic. In my opinion the effectiveness is doubtfull:

Still today there are many people (including females) that believe, that men are more intelligent than women and having 2 separate titles enforces this idea.

Wouldn't be that enough to request the abolition of separate titles?

@Chessboardbreaker there are no men-women categories. There is open and women, so if women want to compete with men for the biggest prizes; they can
@rokoroks Thank You, I didint know that! But you must admit, without your information it seems like discrimination and the problem is, that (I think) most people arent aware of it.
