This is not my area of expertise. But I’ve noticed that a number of bars that are designed for gay men in the USA have a sign on the door with a crossed out “W”. It looks like a no smoking sign but with a capital W instead of a cigarette.
This means “no women allowed.” My wife tells me this is still legal in the USA?! There are also barber shops that exclude women (though these shops usually serve straight, gay and bi Men without distinctions) So I believe this would be verifiable information. It would also be safe to tag women=no for bars or clubs even in countries where LGBT activity is illegal or persecuted. Men=designated could be used for bars that are mainly for gay, bi (and trans?) men, but which do not prohibit women explicitly. I haven’t heard of bars with a “no men” sign, but “women=designated” could work for bars catering to lesbian, bisexual )and trans?) women?
