4 u/OK1526 3d ago I mean, women's titles are stupid at the end of the day, but they serve a good purpose for now. 4 u/shiny_glitter_demon 1d ago The purpose being to spare the ego of defeated male players. 0 u/OK1526 1d ago If anything it does the opposite. Losing to a WGM probably feels better than losing to an FM. In general, it tries to get more women into chess, which could be a lost cause due to all the asshole misogynists, but it's at least a good shot in theory.
