I've already addressed the use of the word sexist, so I won't bother to repeat myself on that score. Asking me why we "penalize" all men and why we even need an all-female group, along with continuing to insist it's sexist - are you seriously telling me you can't see how that is an attempt to shift the burden of proof onto us? Such negative phrasing clearly indicates to me that while you're trying to be cool under your cover of "good idea", it's the but in the statement that reveals where you're really coming from. If it's a cool idea, it's a cool idea, period. No "but" needed.

  • I was only stating a fact I'm not shifting the blame anywhere some men don't treat women right some men do some women don't trust men right some women do I'm not blaming women I'm just stating it is sexist and when you adressed it being sexist just because it doesn't continue to breed more sexism or however you put it doesn't make it any less sexist

  • Technically sexism is when you discriminate (or "treat someone unfairly") because of their sex. What is your definition of fair? I can't see an unfairness in refusing to call a man a "Sister"... Because a man in a sisterhood is not equal to a woman in a sisterhood. It's a mismatch of gendered nouns. So a man even if he were admitted would be treated unfairly. A self-identifying male would also not wish to be referred to as a "Dame" or a "Girl" or a "Lady". And to be more nitpicky, we exclude a gender not a sex. Therefore, the real issue lies not with our admission policy but in our name itself. We should change it to "PEOPLEHOOD"! Or not.
