I couldn't be more clear in my reasoning. If you don't want to read and reply to what I actually said, then you are the problem.

Seriously, that's your retort? Ok fine, I'll rephrase.
It literally requires about half of every single person currently on the fediverse to actively block it. And it requires about half of every single new person that arrives in the fediverse to learn about this group, learn about their rule, learn how to block a group, and then go ahead and block it. About half of everyone who comes here has to do that, for about half of every single new user that joins the fediverse. Forever.
The character is real, but this image isn't a real ad from then
Which doesn't appear in anyone's feed, you only see that when you specifically go to that community's page. Which is yet another clear factor in why it should be set to private instead of public
It’s an extremely simple request that literally requires zero work to honor.

There is no downside.
There are tons of downsides. All the previously mentioned work, plus all the people who post there and then get reprimanded for it, which causes unpleasant feelings, making people feel excluded from the public space of the fediverse that we want people to feel welcome at, etc i really could keep listing more downsides.
Keeping it open and easy to find means higher engagement for the community and greater visibility on a safe, inclusive space for women.
No, it's the opposite of that. Keeping it open to people who actually aren't supposed to engage with the content means it's always going to be a muddled antagonistic mess.
Feels like an easy w to me.
Feels like an unforced loss for everyone to me.
I don't like there being forums set to 'public' on open platforms that then say if you aren't in a specific demographic then you aren't allowed to comment. If you don't want everyone to comment then set your forum to private so it doesn't show up in everyone's feed. Yes, you'll have fewer people there, but they will be only the people you want.
Setting a group to public, and then telling the general public that it's actually private, is simply incorrect, and a recipe for a muddled antagonistic mess.

I'm ok with all 3 of those, but in incredibly more limited ways than they exist in the us today
And you can't access "know your meme dot com"? (No spaces in the actual link, i just spelled it out in case it actually is getting caught by some sort of filter on your Internet access)
What country are you in?
No, if you don't like how a platform works, then that's the wrong platform for you to use.
