Came across an article about gender gap in chess and I think it applies to esports and the whole "wemen suck in this game" mentality. The argument that women are inherently bad because no girl is 8k, 9k (or plays pro) is mathematically wrong and dumb. https://en.chessbase.com/post/what-gender-gap-in-chess?fbclid=IwAR2_DGBTsLGaDmWYFcM5ASaVCoLZDMvnILMvmBssaQ_WifPy-FrKRkbqJIM
Imagine you have 2 groups. A has 10 people, B has 2
Give each person a random number between 1-100 and then get the highest score of each group. On average A is going to be 92 and B 67. You can't compare underrepresented groups based on each group's highest achievements

In this example the difference between A and B is fairly small. My channel has 1.2% women watching and whether because of harassment, lack of interest, *insert reason* they are not playing Dota you can't say they are inherently worst than men (wow).
