Introducing women to a group of men completely changes the dynamics, and vice versa. Genders have fundamental differences, and it's human nature to act differently in the presence of the other.

Consider also that men may not be willing to be themselves or be open in the presence of women. Are they not allowed to have a space for this?

A mixed gender social club inevitably gets raided by a load of dudebros who want to get laid. Keeping it men only prevents this and keeps it genuine. There's no reason women can't have something like this for themselves too you know.

Women do have things like this. There are tons of female exclusive events and spaces in society still

Men aren't allowed to have male-only gyms but women do

That's only one example

I don't think the OP comment was about women, I read it discriminatory in terms of social class and "culture fit".

London has a rich and varied culture of private clubs, some more social than others. Never seen the dudebros wanting to get laid thing. Maybe it’s an American thing?

Mainly just questioning in which direction the poisoned chalice is being passed
