I won't go anywhere that markets to specific genders. I also won't go to events that are required to be "gender balanced". The whole idea seems ridiculous to me. (I am nongendered, you can't "balance" my female-anatomy by offsetting me with an anatomical male. I also think the whole concept of binary gender is absurd.) The whole idea of a "gender balanced" event negates my existence.

OK that was kind of off topic but BLECH... I hate genderized marketing.
