It was stupid, and I never understood why it was so.
But on the other side as Paul mention about 'Women Only':
Women wanted equality but it slid passed the half-way mark!
I personally know women who want everything equal, but still expect the man to open doors, etc. for them.
Girls and Woman can Join the Boy Scouts, but boys and Men cannot join Girl Guides.
Girls are allowed to play football (all codes) but boys are not allowed to play netball.
And on it goes.
Where's the equality
We still have a long way to go.
