Before the "woke" people come out of their holes and try to bash this: The concept IS NOT to exclude women, the idea was to move to the most distant place possible, and to live a life far away from society, love, sex, etc. - something everybody should respect. These people living there dont want to harm anybody, and there's no reason to "go there an visit them" or to do any "feminist" stunts.

Intention matters.

Please don’t argue with people who are either not here or have not expressed any opinion yet. You are literally strawmanning. Argue with actual people and their actual opinions instead of made-up stereotypes.

who, how or why does it matter if that was the concept or is just a side effect?

because intention defines how to judge an action. if somebody moves a knife into your body, then it can be a violent attack or a medical procedure. if you devide boys and girls into groups then it can be seen as sexism or a as a mindful act to ensure privacy and intimacy.

it's the same here. these men just want to be alone.
