It's pretty common for women to have ladies night, like a bunch of women going shopping, to the bar, at home playing cards, etc. No girl wants a girl's night out plus 1 uninvited guy.
And yet, how many women competing in the "women's only" event are OK with forcing all-male military units to integrate women, along with the problems with unit cohesion caused by the social aspect of it. My guess is a significant portion, which makes me not really care if they whine about a guy entering their game, which is orders of magnitude less important in the grand scheme of things than the military.
Not to mention women who think they should be entering the NFL (
