I enjoy watching her play a very talented player, but she only ranks at 121, it would be nice to see her play more often, if she wants to be at the top level then she needs to win more ranking events, the same as any other player male or female, perhaps if she was to get to the top level it would attract more women to learn snooker

[@TobyMacNewsboys]

Yeah. I was shocked to see that even though she's the 12x womens world snooker champion, she has never won a match on the tour. She got on the tour in 2010, after winning 61 (!!) consequtive women's matches. However on the tour she then lost 18 consequtive matches and dropped out again... This has nothing to do with the sexes, only how good an individual is.

[@jb894]

She hasn't won a match on tour this season..

[@chintanshah6234]

So would the male 120 ranked player get so much attention. This is a clear case of positive sexism. I.e. she gets this much attention because she's a woman, not because she's good enough. Having said that she played really well this match.

[@wilkywilky7814]

@@chintanshah6234 I think she is getting the attention because it would be nice to see a female player to climb the same ranks as their male counterparts, but it is a very steep mountain to climb, she definitely has the talent maybe just a bit more experience in the top ranked matches is needed, and I would like to see a female player able to climb the top ranks. It’s not about sexism but seeing a women achieve something that has never been done before.

[@chintanshah6234]

@@wilkywilky7814 so why stop at females. Why not get in trans players too? What you described is exactly (positive) sexism, "Nice to have women players". On her rankings and abilities, she did not deserve to be in this tournament. But she's playing is a case of preferential treatment. While doing this, they took away a spot of another player, who deserved it. My point is, people should get chances irrespective of their race, gender, etc..and only on merits.

In this game Man, Woman doesn't matter... This game is not about physical strength....

[@carlhartwell7978]

Strength is not the only physical difference, the average height of top snooker players is well above that of females in general and even slightly above men in general. Even then you're assuming physical traits are the only difference. Quite an assumption, and also one that's not at all backed up by social sciences. None of this means women should be held back or discouraged of course, equal opportunity, but at the same time I see no reason to _assume_ that women will ever compete generally to the same standard as men in Snooker, or indeed any competition even if socially accepted norms are non existent.
