Personally, I both loved and hated the idea at first. The more I think about it, the more I find it valuable in some way.

Why are men and women playing chess in different leagues? Chess isn’t atheltic, nobody is going to have an advantage over another player because of gender or sex.
Historic systemic sexism means women are under represented in the game. Different leagues aim to bring more women and girls into play because for example, a young girl can see women playing and want to get involved. It is much less likely if all they see is a boy’s club.
Anyone can enter the ‘mens’ league, so whenever a woman is good enough to complete they can (and do).
Not if you are a woman that wants to go for the Grand Master title. In that case you have to join the Woman Grandmaster (WGM).
Incorrect, would you like to check FIDE?
Edit to add a list of 41 females who have achieved the title of grandmaster. Not to be confused with the title of WGM.
@ricdeh and @Luvs2Spuj, it looks like you are both correct since:

That’s just plain misinformation

The fact that there are only 41, is due to under representation not ability. That under representation is cause by many factors, including ignorant and damaging comments such as yours. You should be ashamed.
In our life time it is entirely possible to see a female world champion and even the removal of the WGM (and other W titles) due to progress in repairing the damage caused by sexism.

Agreed. I’m not a chess player, but I view it as an intellectual sport or challenge. There’s no reason not to eliminate all gender specific separation IMO.
I think it’s fun to see people in competition and achievements where we don’t have to care about the person’s physical attributes.
Really?
Well, systemic sexism is complicated, no doubt. You have to decide tho. Complicated or unknown? Cause it can’t be both.
