That specific scenario wouldn't make the tournament a "men's only" tournament, it'd just mean that a bunch of sensitive weirdos are throwing a strop because a woman is in the vicinity lol

That's so mad though, are there really men who refuse to play chess with women???

Hmm, we could have sworn we saw something a while ago but we aren't finding anything now. Oh well shrugs.
