The girl power is cool and all, but it's silly and counterproductive as the film I'm sure will cover that enough as is.
I think you're looking into it too deeply. It's a charity women's only screening of a superhero film featuring a hero that's seen as a feminist icon. If any man looked at this story and thought that they were being excluded just because there was one female only showing at one branch of one cinema chain then I'd tell them to be less self entitled.

The world would not blink if they did the same thing for the latest Fast and the Furious for men because this story only got attention because the idea of feminism riles fragile people up.
