Ever pondered why a king’s battle on a chessboard is split by gender lines? 🤔♟️ “Needlessly Gendered Sports” dives into the intriguing world of sports and competitions that separate men and women, even when brute strength isn’t part of the equation. This episode isn’t just a game of intellectual tug-of-war; it’s a critical look at the traditions and norms that shape our views on gender in areas where physicality is off the board.

From historical precedents to current debates, we unpack the rationale (or lack thereof) behind gendered competitions and question what true equity in sports would look like. Is it tradition, perception, or something deeper that keeps these separations in place?
