“Someone should organize a competing women’s contest in a civilized country.”

Get circumcised, maybe? Not even communist nations or the Third Reich were as obnoxious with such events as these Moslem midden heaps.

Sounds pretty stupid.

They need to focus on chess, not “cultural differences”, whatever that may mean.

It will be ironic that the women chess players have the balls that the men chess players and their silly organization do not.

Yes, respect cultural differences!

Let each player wear what they would wear in their own culture.

Respect ALL cultural differences!

Why the hell don't these animals have to respect the " cultural differences" of the countries that they are infesting?

We have to respect their barbarism, but they are free to ignore the norms of the societies they are being turned lose in/on?

That's not the way I learned it.

Boy, two groups that can make feminism disappear in a puff of smoke: Blacks and Muslims.

SO....why so many Muslims in Western countries insist on following 14 centuries old dress codes for women from the middle-east? Why the Muslims disrespect Western traditions and culture?
