Oh, you know. Really "fierce", out-there, edgy babes who prefer the company of women, like these, I imagine...

On Wednesday, Alamo Drafthouse Austin announced it would hold a women-only "Wonder Woman" screening when the movie debuts in June.
"Apologies, gentlemen, but we’re embracing our girl power and saying 'No Guys Allowed' for one special night at the Alamo Ritz," the movie theatre wrote. "And when we say 'Women (and People Who Identify As Women) Only,' we mean it. Everyone working at this screening — venue staff, projectionist, and culinary team — will be female."
Some people did not respond well to the announcement and perceived exclusion.
"Alamo Drafthouse, will there be a male only screening for Thor: Ragnarok or a special screening for IT that's only for those who identify as clowns?" one Facebook commenter wrote.
"We might actually have to steal that clown idea," the Alamo Drafthouse account responded. "Thanks Ryan!"
In fact, it seems that whoever is running the Austin Alamo Drafthouse Facebook account has a snappy response for critics across the board. Here's a sampling of how the theater is responding:
Alamo also provided some more earnest responses, noting that it often provides special viewings for groups such as veterans and active military members, and that its many other "Wonder Woman" screenings are open to all.
There was clearly demand for the tickets to the women-only showing. The first screening sold out, leading Alamo to add a second women-only "Wonder Woman" screening. As of Thursday, the second women-only screening had also sold out.

Sue them for discrimination.
looks like Alamo is using this to make money and publicity, since all the shows have sold out...
Law suit. Tired of guys getting run over in the name of diversity and inclusion.
“Perceived” exclusion? As if it were really something else if you just squint hard enough? The author is a bigot.
What kind of women would attend such an event?
If a dude shows up with a ticket to see Wonder Woman, in sure they will let him in. But after that, that dude will have problems finding a woman that wants to date him.
guys have got a point on excluding women from the Thor/Hulk movie, that would be an international incident if that happened..
I predict a run on wigs and mascara
They’ll probably sell a lot of fish tacos ...
def discrminiaton because all of the employees must be female as well.
Per se civil rights violation.
Nah, he won’t, he’ll have an influx of cash from the lawsuit.
Lesbians.
Just play the game and identify yourself as a woman.
It’s a special event. I say let them do it and then use it as a precedent to have Christian-only events...like weddings.

lesbianism in real life...its not like the movies AT ALL!
“looks like Alamo is using this to make money and publicity, since all the shows have sold out...”
Exactly right.
The easiest job in the world today is dangling shiny objects in front of the Grievance Police.
