Prior to 1950s there was no pill, so most women were more than busy with children.
Back in the 70s nearly all programmers were men.
That is slowly changing, now that work from home is available.
The few women active in IT back then were every bit as capable as the men, on average.
Women at home are still busy as home-keepers.

... one could say that's because women are not so stupid as men, to waste as much talent and effort as it's needed to become a great painter or a famous violinist... in a tabletop game.

C'mon, guys, stop asking these sexist pointless questions and play chess regardless of your gender and your opponent's.

All that to insinuate that chess is sexist? Why not just say what you're really getting at and then I'll give you my opinion.

@Shadow1414 Correct. Must of us don’t give a f***... only the serially offended or those looking to cause grief where none exists, do. And your comment is not sexist although the OP will disagree.. but then as it was his intention to stir up crap, don’t be surprised when he whines about the rest of not being ‘fully inclusive’. Call it out for what it is. Utter bollocks!
