I've never ever seen any men only autistic courses or anything else for autistic men only where women have been excluded. If they think that the course material is different for autistic women, then there should be an autistic men only course too because just as many men are also affected in the workplace, but I don't believe there is enough specific material just for women that warrants excluding men in this case, most of the material would apply to all autistic people and if there was anything specific it could be covered quickly or perhaps even men and women could get into different groups. The course is titled, "Understanding the Workplace" in general where both men and women work in masses of different roles, it's not about the differences between autistic men and women, if for instance we watched a video about understanding how office politics worked it would be equally helpful to both men and women. As it stands autistic men are totally excluded entirely because they're born a man even though they need this just as much as women. Of course if they did an autistic men only course where women were not allowed to attend, people would be crying out that it was sexist and they wouldn't dare do it for that reason, but not the other way around and yet the principle of it being sexist is exactly the same. Equal rights should mean equal rights.
