The whole "joke", in context, is even worse, so I'm quite happy to oblige
you by posting Larry Evans's entire sexist statement:

"YES, NO, MAYBE

"Everyone knows there is a vast difference between tournament play and
match play. If a sponsor coughs up $2 million, a title match could happen
next year -- otherwise Kramnik will be left out in the cold (which seems to
suit Kasparov).

"All this wrangling reminds me of an old joke about the difference between
a diplomat and a lady: If a diplomat says "yes" it means maybe. If a
diplomat says "maybe" it means no. If a diplomat says "no" he's no
diplomat. If a lady says "no" it means maybe. If a lady says "maybe" it
means yes. If a lady says "yes" she's no lady." - GM Larry Evans

What a wonderful, classy guy.
