Technically, the "men" championship is mixed, but to my knowledge the last (and only) women to perform significantly in this "mixed cycle" was Judit Polgar, long ago. Therefore I guess FIDE has deemed necessary to also do a World championship cycle banned to men.

@s_mailler @adrianfry @jeffowski I believe that women are allowed to participate in chess tournaments, but many of them prefer women-only tournaments because they feel uncomfortable or pressured playing with men. It's something that shouldn't happen.
