Not to mention the difference in the Money: eg in this Fide WC the Finals
payments are Men $500k  $250k; Women $100k $50k;  Less 20% paid back to FIDE.

Judit Polgar is rightfully very much admired for playing in the Mens
Tournaments, & was once the youngest (male) GM, & was once ranked no 10 in the
FIDERankings.  Her achievements are outstanding.
