I hope that the women reading this can be objective in responding to my
question, and don't think that I am a male chauvinist or something similar. To
the opposite I am upset with that fact, so I am doing a researc on this.

Women's brains are organized differently from men's. See "The Essential
Difference," by Simon Bar-Cohen, who has done a lot of research on this.

Bob,

Please excuse my impertinence in correcting your typo with respect name of the
above author, it is Simon Baron-Cohen.

To give an answer to the question in the subject heading of the thread, my
friend Sara, who is a smart woman, a professional in the IT industry (systems
designer) a sci-fj and fantasy fan, and, one might think an ideal candidate to
become a fine chess player if she wished, told me that the reaspn that she,
and, perhaps, many other women are completely uninterested in chess is because
of the "minutiae" (her adjective) associated with the game, by which, as she
explained, she meant the necessity of learning endgames, tactics, openings,
etc. etc... "Too nerdy!", she said, which, coming from her, was quite the
damning indictment.

Most women think chess is pointless, (they're probably right in the bigger
scheme), men don't think about this, we just like to play.

I'm doing research on women too, but it doesn't upset me, really.

Do they ever object to your writing those complex mathematical formulae,
disproving the existence of a TOE, on their persons?

Mark

are you sure she wasn't talking about your mentality, houlsby?

Well...DUH!!! Clearly, since I am a man, she was talking about me. Clearly,
since you're a man, she was talking about you, too. She was talking about ALL
men, you trolling moron.

You're really not good at this ****. Now might be a good time to stop.

Mark,
Thanks for the correction.

The capacity to visualize is different in men and women. Some of that
fundamental difference is captured in the book title "Why Men Don't Listen
and Women Can't Read Maps: How We're Different and What to Do About It."
Men are more field independent (the ability to extract a target pattern from
a more complex pattern). Etc.

Also it seems that more women than men shrink from the aggressive aspect of
the game.

Bob
