Of all the things to have gender segregated competition, why Rubik’s cubes? It feels almost like a parody of gendered chess competition and things.
Several sports that are mind-only are segregated not because we don’t want men vs women but because without doing so you get less women, and if you have less women in the sport you have less potential to grow and foster the talent of women to the maximum potential.
It’s done because men are dipshits to women and this causes fewer women competitors.
It’s not, women compete against men in the same competitions at the same level. We just track statistics for both men and women. When you go to the WCA website the default view for results is combined, but you can, if you wish, choose to look at just men or just women. We also track the country of each competitor even though competitors can compete in events regardless of which country it’s in.
chess is segregated because men are shitty to women, rubik’s cube could be the same.
i guess the other choice is landspeed racing where there’s a division for every different number of screws in the car.
I didn’t think using prison guards as drivers was a good idea, until I found out how dangerous it is
Actually Evil Knievel
A standard rubiks cube is covered entirely in colors that encode activation signatures targeting testosterone levels in cells. An AB test of a rubik’s cube using mauve, fuchsia, periwinkle, heliotrope, aubergine, and cerise demonstrated reverse gender bias in triple blind studies.
As a trans girl, who also happens to be colorblind, I hate this lmao
