I once thought of creating a feminized version of Cavalier Chess. It would basically be the same game with some name and color changes. The game would be called Princess Pony Chess. The Marshall would be renamed an Empress, the Paladin a Princess, the Nightrider a Nightmare or just a Mare, the Cavalier a Pony, and the Knight King a Stallion. The Queen, already being female, would remain a Queen. The object of the game would be to corral (i.e. checkmate) the other side's fierce, wild, manly Stallion. The board could be colored in flowerly pastels, such as pink, rose, and orchid. I decided against it, because I figured some might consider the idea offensive, and I didn't really expect it to draw in legions of girl players.
