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. I'm almost sure this is too extreme. Those who got it had a laugh. Those who didn't got offended.

For those who may of the latter: THE NAME IS A MOVIE REFERENCE.
