This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you’re here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we’ve got you covered.
I feel like men can do all of those things, so I don’t see why we are excluding them. Just because it’s a women-centric community doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be allowed. I think we should exclude people who are bigoted instead, or even people who just don’t “get” women’s issues.
Aside: I’m personally irritated that make-up is what’s considered a woman-centric topic. That’s kind of reductive – not everyone is femme.

Honestly I think a majority of the men commenting don’t even notice the community they’re posting in, let alone read the rules. It happens a lot when a post reaches /c/all and a flood of outside users suddenly are interacting with the post.
Luckily this means a lot of them are not too impolite about it (even if some of them get defensive).

Well, your response is identical to, for instance, the response given in terf communities I used to peruse. (Relax – I’m a better person now.) The reason I am asking is that I think exclusivity is a bad thing, rather than the absence of a good thing – i.e., the world would be better with fewer exclusive places.
I’d counter with this – why don’t you want men in the community? And does the answer you give to that apply to every man, or just a subset? I understand, of course, that the easiest way to exclude that subset is to exclude all men, and I wouldn’t want to ask the mod team to do more work for free.

If she asks in a women-only room, we can all discern with context that it’s rhetorical to help make her point.
No, they didn’t ask you at all…
