I hear you. But so what if it’s inconsistent? Why does it matter?
It’s a bit like criticizing SpaceX for spending so much money going into space when that money could be used here at home, to solve real problems.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but it sounds like the root cause of the frustration here is what you pointed out: Right now you can create a girls-only club, but not a boys-only club. But the truth seems to be that you can create a boys-only club, and people do. They just don’t call it that.
If the objection is that you can’t openly do that without being criticized, then that’s valid too. But that’s how people feel right now. It’s not possible to say “Well, you should feel differently.” Or at least not effective.
If an initiative is helpful, why not let them? After all, we don’t know if this will help.
