Title: Sorry ladies Post by justin_o_guy2 on 11/21/18 at 04:10:27 https://davidthompson.typepad.com/davidthompson/2018/11/feminism-versus-scrabble.html https://davidthompson.typepad.com/davidthompson/2018/11/feminism-versus-scrabble.html Since the World Scrabble Championship began in 1991, all winners have been male. The North American Scrabble Championship has had one female winner (in 1987) since its founding in 1978. All eight finalists in this year’s French World Scrabble Championships were men. Competitive Scrabble constitutes a natural experiment for testing the feminist worldview. According to feminist dogma, males and females are identical in their aptitudes and interests. If men dominate certain data-based, abstract fields like engineering, physics and math, that imbalance must, by definition, be the result of sexism—whether a patriarchal culture that discourages girls from math or implicit bias in the hiring process. But there are no cultural expectations that discourage females from memorising dictionaries—a typical strategy of competitive Scrabble players, often in a foreign language that the player doesn’t speak. Girls are as free as boys to lap up vocabulary. Nor are there misogynist gatekeepers to keep females out of Scrabble play; the game, usually first learned at home, is open to all. According to Hasbro, 83% of recreational Scrabble players 25 to 54 are female. Championship Scrabble, however, rewards typically male obsessions: strategy, math, a passion for competition, and a drive to memorise facts. [World Scrabble Champion, Nigel] Richards’s mother told the Guardian in 2015 that he “related everything to numbers” when he was growing up. Feminists will need to employ circular logic to conjure forth a discriminatory barrier in Scrabble: Males’ excellence at a certain activity itself keeps females out. But that leaves unanswered the question of how males came to excel at Scrabble—or any other abstract, competitive activity—in the first place. Also this: Like competitive Scrabble, Wikipedia has no gatekeepers. Anyone can compose or edit an entry; participation is largely anonymous. There are no centuries-old Wiki traditions shoring up male Wiki dominance. Yet only 13% of Wikipedia editors are female, according to the Wikimedia Foundation, even though no one would know the sex of a female editor to be able to discriminate against her. Entries for typically “female” subjects are skimpy compared with typically “male” ones. The implication is Etc, etc So, for all the Everyone is equally capable regardless of sex, Well You're wrong |

Title: Re: Sorry ladies Post by justin_o_guy2 on 11/21/18 at 05:44:10 So, it's Factually Incorrect? They LIED about who has been winning? They LIED about who can play? What IF men and women Actually have different inherent capabilities? |

Title: Re: Sorry ladies Post by WebsterMark on 11/21/18 at 06:36:46 One definition that must be met in order for an activity to be classified as a sport is: at the highest level of competition, men and women do not compete against one another because men would rarely if ever lose. |

Title: Re: Sorry ladies Post by justin_o_guy2 on 11/21/18 at 07:35:56 Ahh, so, facts are Propaganda.. And what about the truth? Is it TRUE or not? Yes, it's TRUE that men and women have different inherent capabilities and desires. That's what has made the growth of society Possible. Complementary abilities. Team. |

Yea, that's exactly what I said....... Think it through. There are no sports where men and women regularly compete against one another at the highest levels. |

In my experience they do. Many years ago I managed a 'trap shooting', club. girls/boys were eager to work for the club. The Boys were much better as, 'setters', (Putting the clay target on the machine that throws them in the air) The Girls, were much better as, 'Pullers', (having a button and when a shooter says,'pull', pressing the button, and putting x or nothing on the score card) They both were equal in carrying the boxes of targets to the, 'trap house' before the shooting. This was at age, 14 - 16. At 16 a great turnover of boys and girls, as to them getting a D.L. Absolutely, a gender, can do some things better than the other, and visa versa. They also can do some things the same. |

That's sad, You're so lame. As if the fact that a toy manufacturer makes the game somehow diminishes the intellectual ability required to WIN CHAMPIONSHIPS. Ohhh, look, he's not smart. The chess set he used is made by a toy maker. Seriously, bit, you should be ashamed. |
