2. Play Irina Krush or anyone with the last name Polgar... |

Then come back and post the results.

3. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has been successful in politics. |
|
She has won against many of her political opponents. However, one example like Hillary Rodham isn't enough to conclude that women and men in America have equal opportunities to become political leaders. Likewise, the Polgar phenomenon isn't enough to conclude that women and men have equal opportunities to acquire chess-playing expertise.

6. Why are your posts always sort of nonsensical? |
|
Honestly. I've seen posts of yours in this forum, GD, and feminists for years and few if any have ever made any sense to me.
Are you deliberately trying to trivialize women's issues or is your logic stream just very different from mine?
