I think there's certain spaces where gender division should be permitted and allowed. I don't really care what gender you identify with, I don't want co-ed bathrooms. And I know a lot of males who feel the same.
Similarly, someone's uncomfortable working out in front of another gender-- which can also have situations where the person is naked for changing and showering etc (unless people now want co-ed fitting rooms as well), there should be safe places for them to be able to do so without having to isolate themselves. The same with dormitories, sporting teams, etc etc etc. And this applies to all genders. Not just women.
I don't view these issues the same as depriving someone of a basic right to entertainment, especially for no logical reason, when there isnt even an alternative presented or available.
For me it's the difference between:
"I don't mind if you wanna do that, or if everyone does it together, but sometimes I'd like to be able to join up with these people who I relate to/feel comfortable around, without interfering with your ability to keep doing the thing how you want to as well," and "I want to do this, but fuck you and everyone like you, I don't want you anywhere near this thing I like. Ever."
