Hahaha, always the way with women.
"Let's pretend that it's something psychological instead of actually admitting that we'd get creamed on a football field."
It's not psychological really is it? Because if women ever got to play with men, the rules would state that no biased treatment be given.
That being said, the best female football (real football) players are shit compared to the males. In terms of skill, not even taking into account the physical disadvantage.
Watch the best male teams play, then the best women. It's shit. They're falling all over the place, making themselves look stupid.

Yes...and that's why they don't play in the Prime Leagues...not because they are discriminated...
you misunderstand AC. i agree that the best female football player isn't even worthy of being third string on the worst football team in the league. what i'm saying is that even if you were to disregard that fact, the mere presence of a woman on the field would psychologically tilt the game. men would be playing far below their abilities.

Which is true of course, at least for me...

Not sure Iif I could....although there are probably lots of girls that are better in football than me....just think aboot it you think you could tackle a tiny 5'0'' girl....
Just think about it, does she put herself in the place of that by wanting to play against me? Yes.
So would I give her what she wants? Yes.

I thought it was down to the difference between women and men in how their brains handle spatial reasoning.
Why the hell you took that to mean 'women are stupid' I do not know, but that reflects very badly on you. Get off your damn high horse and try not to make such an ass of yourself; NO-ONE thinks it is because girls are stupid. It's not even estalished that brains make a good chess player. Plenty of clever people are shit at chess; it is a skill like any other which women cannot seem to be able to match.
The fact is, women are just not as good at chess as men. Period.
And yes, your idea it is due to inequality at school is feeble. Girls are outperforming boys at many school subjects now. It makes no difference. The chess competition field is fully open and women are failing in it.
I'm not trying to hurt the woman, I'm not trying to hurt anyone I'm playing against.
I'm certainly not gonna give her lighter treatment though. She made the choice, she can deal with whatever happens.
It's like women who beat men up because they hide behind that "You can't hit me" shield. They love to pull a law suit out their asses when one man finally turns around and clocks them back.
Women hide behind their gender way too much, while saying how strong-willed they are.

Woman 1: I can take anything you men can take. Can't we girls?
Women in unison: Yeah!
Woman 2: Hey boyfriend. Yeah? *Punch* You like this?! *Slap*
Man: What the? *Backhand*
Woman 2: YOU CAN'T HIT ME! I'M A WOMAN!!!!
And that's EXACTLY how it is. If you're a woman and deny that this is how it is (even if you aren't individually like it) you're wrong.

well every man knows the answer to that but is reluctant to actually voice it. it attracts too many ..negative consequences 😛
detective Vera Menchik was a very good chess player !
She beat Euwe, Sultan Khan, Sir George Thomas, Alexander, and Yates.
In such company, and she played in several of the Hastings International tournaments and others of similar grade, she usually obtained about 33%, though in the Maribor tournament of 1934 she finished third, behind Pirc and Steiner but ahead of Rejfir, Spielmann, Asztalos, and Vidmar.

Sadly yes, that is how it is, many women do hide behind their gender, though I personally do not. I don't have a boyfriend, could this be why? It seems I act too much liike a guy and not enough like a woman... 🙄 But that's how it is here in the good ol' southeast USA, men still want women to be defenseless little ladies. I'll have to move out of state just to get laid..... Which leads me to another idea, I think I'll sign up for this football against men just in hopes of getting tackled, no matter how much damage it does. 😱
