Most women don't play like guys do: they don't wrestle, fight, get into brawls. They don't know how to express themselves in a physical, active way.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I am tired of women playing action heroes like men, because they are not men. But sometimes they are written like men.
Women play into each other's weaknesses.
I think men are more adventurous in that they're more likely to take chances. Women play it safe. But now, maybe more of the women that see how it's working for the guys think, 'I can do that, too'. Maybe they'll pick male players, not necessarily female players; it's just whatever that match is that works for that player.
Female ambition is such a complicated thing to play because it is an aggressive quality, and people respond very badly to women exhibiting any kind of aggression.
You don't have to play masculine to be a strong woman.
Women, by their nature, are not exceptional chess players: they are not great fighters.
Both sexes like the exercise and challenge of sports, but for men it's also a basic display behavior for impressing and winning a mate.
In recent generations, women's sports have been a blessing. Some of us can remember the bad old days in the '50s, when we would discover in casual schoolyard play that a girl could outrun most of us or hold her own in basketball or hit a softball - but there were no teams, no coaches, for girls.
I love to play women who are strong and unapologizing and kind of rough around the edges and don't care what anybody thinks about that.
I think women are by nature competitive - secretly, privately within their own selves, on lots of different levels, on the way they look, perform.
