I don't necessarily agree nor disagree with separate classes based on gender, but as you say the most bizarre thing is how they've fought so long for 'equalities' and 'inclusion', then come full circle and segregate people into groups, just like in the middle East, or during aparthied.
It's not just gender too, they're segregating based on sexual preference, too, see:

The Liberals are so short term thinkers, they just 'wing it' from one new brainwashed idea, to the next and forget where they've come from, or where they're supposed to be going.
There must be an agenda in there somewhere, I think.
