I'm certain they did not mean to offend anyone, but the point is that gender-specific language does create a barrier to the people that it appears to exclude, even if it was not meant to exclude them. People who do not consider themselves men (roughly half the population) will see the title of the group first, and many will think that it's not for them and will move on, perhaps missing out on an experience that might have been beneficial to them. If the League truly is equal opportunity as they say, they'll consider this and hopefully change their name so that it correctly reflects their beliefs. At the moment, it does not indicate equal opportunity; it indicates the opposite.
