Is this legal?

I’ve heard of encouraging women to attend, dedicating events to advancement of women, but this (explicitly restricting attendance to women) seems, at best, discriminatory and potentially illegal.

It’s legal. That’s a private membership organization and they can say who can and can’t attend.

Yes, I’m being serious, and, yes, I actually think it is wrong to take a topic not inherently specific to a single sex and discriminate against one sex by not allowing participation.

After digging a bit further, apparently California agrees with me. This practice is ILLEGAL in California but not in Massachusetts. Current interpretation of CA’s Unruh Civil Rights law makes that clear (one example, banning “Ladies’ night” drink discounts at private bars).

The organization could discourage male participation easily through a name change, specific event objective clarity, etc. They, instead, chose to discriminate.
