Wish I could say that, it was in 2010 and I noped out of that nonsense as soon as I could believe that they were serious. Searching for the phrase in the older year range brought another 'space' issue, from 2001

>Is the building and controlling of space a feminist issue? Consider the Washington Monument, a prominent feature of our nation's capital--a tall, pointed shaft of a building. Or consider the assembly line layout of a maternity ward--women shunted from labor to delivery to recovery--and how it dehumanizes that most female of roles, giving birth. Leslie Kanes Weisman, former dean of architecture, offers this critique of space management. It is complemented by practical advice on creating more inclusive architecture and community.

There does seem to be a concerted effort to remove all-male spaces. Even the Boy Scouts aren't permitted to be purely boys. Feminism seems to be the primary reason for this attitude.

That doesn't prevent ad hoc all male groups from forming, but there's clearly defined and expressed hostility towards any all-male gathering.
