There is some slight reaction time and motor skill differences.

There are female-only tournaments in Chess as well, despite the fact that there are no male-only tournaments. They don’t do it because of some huge skill gap between men and women, it’s just a consequence of certain activities having a much higher male population. When I was a freshman in high school and our robotics program was started, most of the girls decided to form their own team simply because they felt more comfortable that way and engineering fields have historically been difficult for women (after a couple years the teams became much more balanced, but the point remains). Anyway, I may have gotten a bit side-tracked, but you should think of female-only tournaments being created as a way of encouraging women to get into competitive gaming, rather than it being used as a skill barrier like you’d see in traditional sports where physical ability is more impactful.

Because if there were no women-only tournaments, no woman would play professionally or maybe some few....
This is a way to make more women professionals.
Although it seems wrong, its the best way to encourage more women and make them earn more money
