Here's a link about masculine activities, and more; might even be seen as a little humourous by some (I wonder if playing chess, especially as a career, would possibly fit in):

Here's one writer's opinion, that chess is still a man's game [curiously, he mentions Ms. Lane's 1961 impact on the {chess} world, with no mention of the Polgar sisters {out of ignorance(?)}, especially Judit, who has beaten more than one male world champion]. Maybe that leaves the issue of whether chess is a masculine activity still unresolved[?], although it takes some physical exertion to play, and hard work to study, and to advisedly physically train, for most. At least as much effort as a [non-chess!?] writing career I'd assume, though often not as profitable an enterprise [quite close to being a lost cause in many places, which is not a manly use of time!?]:

Part of a blurb from Google:
"Chess requires physical exertion as mental exertion manifests itself physically." - Oxford dictionary
