having gone to an all boys High School that went co-ed in my 2nd year. I can totally understand what you are saying. I can totally appreciate it because I have seen the differences first hand.
Boys stopped farting, scratching their balls, being sophomoric assholes to each other and started grooming, posturing etc. all trying to get girls attention.
But with the mission that Halx has here it doesn't seem to work in my head because this place is about bridging gaps not widening them. Putting men into a space of men only will only further the gap in my opinion. The fugly and ho threads are testament to that. Yes the women got involved which is crucial to your side of the argument in sayiing that they shouldn't have been to help that discussion out. But the premise was already set by the OP who used a derogatory term to women.
Note, even I did not decry the fugly statement. Mostly because I tend to see past the words and get to the meat of the discussion right away. But others cannot get past that and they focus on that as part of their discussion Its that discourse at that level that self-corrects the males that engage in this type of behavior. Males tend to not self-correct each other when alone with just other males in most of the interactions I've seen.
