The hell with Anna Kournikova — she kept losing. Who wants to be compared to someone who loses? I’ll take the Williams sisters, thanks … I prefer my role models to actually kick some ass.

And frankly, if you’re smart and a woman, you’d better not be fucking hot. Take my word for it. If the males around you are reminded in any way, shape, or form that you are a woman and therefore fuckable, your ability to work in ANY laboeratory environment in a herd of the idiots is seriously compromised. Or, their ability is. But since they outnumber you, you’re the one who gets screwed.

Twisty, Twisty, Twisty. If you’re smart and a woman, you are hot. The pseudosex bullshit and the burkha-bombers got nothing to do with it. And LMYC’s herd of idiots is just acknowledging their own inadequacy. Unfortunately, the Power Class has ways of making the rest of us pay for their own inadequacy, especially when they’re caught in their own contradictions.

I just enjoyed the part where the poor chess nerd was so distracted by his opponent’s cleavage (or whatever “dressed appropriately for spring” means) that he _complained to the referee_. Who agreed that “dressed appropriately for spring” was “distracting”. I’m sorry, Mr. Chess Guy. Next time we’ll all wear burkas, okay? Because keeping your eyes on your game is too difficult for you.

My slant is opposite from your slant, and yet we both blame the patriarchy!

To be fair, hotness is a gender-neutral chess requirement. I mean, just look at Bobby Fischer.

According to the ‘arbiter’ of the chess beauty contest site, “If you want to promote women’s chess on its own, then you have to do something like this.”

What part of ‘on its own’ does he not understand???

I was on my high school chess team, which was mostly a nerdvana experience back in the 80s. But I was the only girl, and in fact, one of only two female players in my major metropolitian area. Until I got kicked out of the “Chess Homeroom” for being “too distracting.”

Looks like nothing has changed.

What can guys do? It seem like everywhere they go, there are these females reminding them of sex.

It really depresses me that the woman who’s 5th in the world for women’s chess is 525th in the world overall. It depresses me that women seem to be so crap at chess that they merit a special crap category known as “women’s chess”. I fucking hate chess.

How would one go about putting on a condom if one was still asleep?

Yes, thanks BPHD for that other link. How could one put on a condom while sleeping? That right there would throw the “sexsomnia” defense out the window for me, although I’d bet (if I was a betting woman) his victim was relieved that he at least used some sort of protection . . . And as for sex and chess, who cares what sex you are if you play good chess??? They should be above all this “distraction” jazz, not to mention beauty contests? What’s that?

Hope you’re doing okay, Twisty, and rock on. . .
