Your Move/Readers Write: Treat women players equally

Published on 7/19/2018
Treat women players equally: "If you have to qualify a sentence with 'I hope it's not sexist to say...', just don't say it at all," writes Seth Yoder (7/18 Power Report, Nannami Nao wins Senko Cup). "That qualification is akin to saying, "Not to be racist, but...'" The go world, Yoder continues, "is at a crucial point right now. We can decide whether to make this a welcoming environment for women, or to keep it a snobby, insular boy's club. Treat women players like they're people in their own right, instead of always identifying/qualifying them by their relationships with men. Resist that impulse."
