Mens’ chess pieces are heavier than the womens’ division.

men don't like to be shown up

If anything, probably because women were excluded from tourneys so they have their own?

Same here, dozens of tournaments attended and none of them had gender segmentation.

Ugh I wanted to take my son to see a UFC match in person. Just so happens there is one in November at Madison Square Garden - great right! I knew the tickets would be expensive, was willing to pay $400 to $500 a ticket as long as they were decent. The cheapest ticket in the whole arena, basically top row so you can’t see crap, is $506 before you start with the fees!!! Am I wrong or is that just bananas???? Oh well, pay per view it is, maybe have some friends over. Just complaining… happy Friday!
