There is reason to believe that letting oppressed minorities connect in the absence of the majority group is a peaceful, effective path forward that makes them more able to put their baggage down, turn the other cheek and participate constructively in the main group.

If you are interested in assessing this through some idealized, absolutist lens, it is totally sexist and discriminatory against men. If you are interested in pragmatic solutions that help genuinely reduce the sexist drama in the world, this model has a track record of success.

So you need to pick one. Do you want to double down on abstract ideals? Or are you interested in what works?

Women who are interested in the latter can potentially find benefit in seeking out a sisterhood and turning a deaf ear to the accusations of "reverse sexism" that inevitably get leveled, typically by people who have no constructive alternative to offer and who aren't actually interested in being supportive and inclusive of women.
