Ok, so I misunderstood and you actually agree we should have an open (mixed gender) division? Just adding we also need to work on preventing harassment and discrimination?
Otherwise, you are adding the logic stating that because harassment exists, we shouldn’t have mixed gender tournaments. Which implies we also need separate transgender tournaments, since they are also at risk for harassment in the existing ones.
I wanted to break the video game logic people were using. People write things like “This piece of paper says anyone can compete. Therefore the men’s group is really the Open group.”
People literally argue as if we live in a video game. They think they because they can Google what a law says, that the simulation automatically implements said law.
Nothing in the rules of chess say that men ought to harass women. Therefore, that fact is hidden from many people. A piece of paper doesn’t say it, so it’s invisible.
If someone lived in reality and they knew that men consistently harass women and that the world of men doesn’t do enough to stop it, then they probably wouldn’t believe that the men’s group is somehow the open group that welcomes all challengers.
