A setback for women
Reading about this lunacy wrapped in empowerment rhetoric, I really believe this sort of stuff actually sets women back. It teaches them that silly antics, withdrawl into ersatz sisterhood, and lame attempts to be outrageous and subversive will effectively counter the real and, in their cases, mostly imagined male domination all around them.
The reality of course is that they are handicapping their ability to function in the real world, have relationships with the other 49% of the human race, raise healthy sons and daughters, and compete in the marketplace.
One of the most important ingredients in healthy, mutually beneficial relationships between the sexes is respect. This baloney doesn't promote that -- men (and, I bet, most women!) laugh at this stuff and mock it, and rightfully so.
