Firstly, I must say I am female.
Many years ago, we fought against ‘men only’ things like voting or clubs and societies where we weren’t welcome. That would suggest we wanted fairness. However, I frequently see in my local area events targeted just for women. Today there was one advertised with literally the titles Just Women. Am I odd in thinking that the women who create these events are being hypocritical and wanting their cake and eat it? Surely if we wanted to be allowed into imale events, we have no right to now create things which clearly want to exclude men?

In some cases, women only events and services can be justified. There is a gym near me that has a women only section, where the women can work out without men watching, which can make some women uncomfortable. Also taxi services with women drivers that are only for women customers can make sense, where women might feel uncomfortable being on their own with a male taxi driver, paricularly if she is going to a remote place.
