If you are a woman who has ever played chess competitively, you know how much sexist assholery you have to face just to be able to play the game. The World Chess Federation is doing all it can to humiliate and degrade female players.
For instance, the next world championship will be held in Iran where female players aren’t allowed to play unless they dehumanize and debase themselves by wearing hijabs. Not only is this offensive to female players, but it also means that they have to betray the solidarity they feel for the women of Iran who are fighting against this and all forms of gender degradation.
Of course, the chess superstars are refusing to go altogether. Women can’t play basketball until they put on “sexy” outfits and can’t play chess unless they put on anti-sexy outfits. They have to constantly dress and undress to flatter the vanities of some self-involved penis owners.
This is ridiculous and insulting.
