What is unnecessary gendered? (beehaw.org)

I was watching pro golf coverage on the news and it seems so odd that men and women compete separately - same goes with pro bowling. Just seems weird to me that a game of skill is gendered when you can't even raise an argument that someone might have an advantage because of what's between their legs.

Chess is a bit weird in this regard.

I've heard it was because chess used to be men's only. So by having women's-only tournaments, it's more inviting.
