I had a problem like this at a local department store recently. As I walked in, I was surrounded by the womens clothing section. It must have taken up half of the store! As I surveyed the situation, I found the store has segregated itself into departments by gender and even age! Yes imagine that, this store had a special section for kids only. I was outraged and asked for a discount because more space was devoted to womens than mens. I expressed my concern and asked for a discount from the store manager. He basically told me that they made space allocation decisions based on what was most profitable for the store and that I was welcome to take my business elsewhere.
Gawd, I hate capitalism.....

Coffee out my nose, Mark...  ! Gotta admit tho, this old curmudgeon took out an absolute demit when a private men's club I belonged to caved & began admitting women as members. There are darned few exclusively male sancturaries left in this tired ol' country...
