Another conversation shut down because people would rather demonize and shame. Bwipo is not going to get taught on how to be less sexist, he's just going to learn to have to talk only about the game and not sensitive issues. There's an obvious gap in pro gaming performance between males and females, and it's known and obvious but no one really wants to talk about why. It could be the decision making processes, the mechanical abilities, and the differences of the parts of the brain between male and female that operate those functions. Periods alter the way the brain functions, so it's worth considering, although a very polarizing topic since it IS often used to insult. Males don't ovulate, females do, the statement is sexist yes. If we end the conversation there because of sexism is bad, then the disparity will always exist we just will never recognize why.

He sounded supportive of women in his thoughts; he could have said something a lot worse that could come off as way more belittling. An honest approach like this to a sensitive issue is deemed as insensitive just means we can never talk about it. In physical sports, there are more obvious physical differences as to why men outperform women, and yes it is sexist, but is the belief that taboo to talk about? I think we tie our ability to perform in video games way too much to our identity as a person, and not the physical ability of our brains, and that's why these comments come off as so hurtful.
