While NO MAAM sounds like a very entertaining group, I think there is a reason that it only exists in a sitcom. To my understanding feminist groups are there to ensure the rights of females- such as equal pay and equal opportunity. Having a recreational club to ensure "malihood" is fine, as long as it doesn't take away any outside rights from other groups. Exclusion in groups is not uncommon- for instance there are many Country Clubs that you must be Jewish in order to be a member. The important factor that all groups must consider is "Does our group limit the rights of other groups?" If the answer is yes, therein lies your problem.
