What does ‘user device access’ mean?

Because of the fedora-wearing neckbeard stereotype.

Plasma has been more efficient than XFCE for over three years now.

I don’t know which is technically snappier, but ram not being used does not equal snappier performance.

You may have proven that men have an advantage in the average case due to inherent misogyny

I haven’t, because those numbers themselves can’t prove that.

What they can tell you is that any individual woman playing chess at high levels is vastly outnumbered by men. All things being equal, that also makes women much less likely to win tournament titles (or even qualify for tournaments), if no titles or tournaments do anything to compensate. The result would be that women are likely to become invisible whenever you watch any sort of ‘high level’ chess – and that can have consequences reinforcing the underlying issue.

The commenter I replied to theorised that the underlying motivation for having ‘gender segregated’ (which in reality equates to female-exclusive) titles was a fear of women winning. In fact, the opposite seems to be the case. That’s what my argument adresses – not the trans issue.

I can’t imagine you’ve seen the numbers. Currently the number of fide grand masters totals 1772 men and 41 women. At the rank below, international masters, the numbers are 3893 men and 134 women.

If you were to simply remove titles exclusive to women tomorrow, you would be barring many more women from ever being able to call themselves ‘champion’. How do you imagine that would impact young girls’ willingness to dedicate themselves to the game?

Remember that even if men are at an advantage for strictly cultural reasons (being more encouraged to play the game) that still means they have an advantage.
