I don't believe it's unreasonable to assume that they choose to market in this way because they believe it will increase their market share. That's what companies do.
I see what you are saying. But when I read their own words "providing exceptional grooming services for men in a unique atmosphere geared specifically to men" it's not clear that they would refuse women. It will be interesting to see what happens now that their position is very public and clear. They will probably get increased business because people are like that. Regardless, just because it's a viable business doesn't make it right or legal.
