I See This Everywhere, Being In The Chess Community As A Woman Is Just Less Fun... Too Many Sexist Men.

I see this everywhere, being in the chess community as a woman is just less fun... Too many sexist men.

there's a small subset of female chess streamers and the only ones i can name are these classically beautiful women, with a higher than average number of them having only fans accounts linked in their (chess) profiles, and for me there's this tension btwn not wanting to be puritanical about how women choose to market themselves online (there are a limited number of ways to make money from chess and streaming, and if you're a woman the most sure-fire way to turn a profit is to be typically hot) and intense resentment re: the way that as a woman your looks are still the most important thing in wrt your success. i think the general population has this idea of chess as being this very noble cerebral pursuit where it's really a battle of wits more than anything so base as physical appearance but. yeah it isnt, obviously

I forget sometimes

reminder:

Same, I also HATE recpies that say this takes 10 min to make. While that is simply incorrect. What about collecting all the ingredients forn the store. Getting all the supplies on your kitching counter, cleaning etc.

But what i hate even more is when they don't count some things that are literally stated in the recipe, like it says it takes 10 min in total to make this, but it is only the cooking time. They somehow don't count the time that soup/water/thing actually needs to start cooking in the first place??? It makes no sense.

hate HATE recipes where they’re like “this costs $10 total” and what they mean is that it’s six ingredients each of which comes in a container that costs $5 but if for some reason you decide to measure cost by the fucking tablespoon yeah i guess it’s $10 total

HEARTBREAKING: Poor girl has to get out of the soft warm bed even though she is so so so so comfy

Crying screaming throwing up over a romantic scenario I had in a dream.

Look i get when people say:

"ugh i hate when people talk about TEAM GALE OR TEAM PEETA, because that wasn't the point of the hunger games."

But you can enjoy the love story of Katniss and Peeta, while also comprehending the deeper meaning of it all.

Silly teenage-girl-ness does NOT mean shallowness.
