But it is perfectly OK to say because a small minority of men are rapists, it is 100% OK and understandable to exclude them from the same establishment.

A small number of men are rapists, but rape isn't the only type of sexual assault. And fear of sexual assault isn't even the only reason why there's a market demand for women's only gyms. Many women, even if they're not afraid of being raped at the gym, just don't want to put up with leering stares, creepy comments, or other forms of harassment when they're working out.
