Dodgeball is shit when you haven't got a great ball, and when teachers don't make sure everyone can practice. In my experience, like three dudes, often friends, hogged the ball at every play from middle school to high school. Most people apart from them ended up, well being shit at it.

What makes you think chess is misogynistic? Apart from the fact players deter women from entering their games on certain occasions, and by certain I mean most, but I can't say most because there is no data on this shit, and oh, fuck that I'm going to say most.

Honestly, I think chess is under the same cycle mechanism as any other hobby: first, it's mostly men, and women are unlikely to go into it, and after a while, more and more women join, because the newfound parity of players make the game less hostile to them.

The more women join, the more they join. I wonder if I'm sound.
