It's easily fixed by having a mixer at the same time for the other half of the gathering population thus showing all the population gathering matters equally.
My memory is a little fuzzy, but I think I recall one of the early WiT lunches hosted at NANOG that was women-only, where some men were upset for being "left out". Whether that was good or bad is less important than understanding what the outcome of a women-only activity is for women, especially for those for whom it may not be immediately obvious.
While equal access to opportunity between the genders is the most effective policy, I think there is utility in women having their own session, given that they face unique challenges in an industry where they are the minority operators.
