There’s a lot more to it than aggro and antisocial behaviour but whatever.
Fine for the rich!
Beer Drinkers Asked to Stop Using Phrases With Alienating 'Lad Culture' Overtones
The beer drinker should consider saying "taking colleagues to a drink" instead of "join the lads for a few," as it might imply that women don't like to drink.ginraiders.com
Terms like pub crawl and happy hour to be replaced with inclusive terms like "saviour a pint" and "pub tour"
Some moronic fun thief has had too much time off over "the winter holiday period"
'Rebranded' does not mean 'stopped.' Put your pearls away, pour a sherry, and have a nice lie down.
But who will do the washing up if both sex's go to the pub?
And, more importantly, who makes the drunken post-pub sandwich when you're back ?
If you don't get back till 6am then you get a slap up full English ready and waiting.
Or in my case " what time you call this you b### end"

Jesus Christ (wo)man I know but I didn't want to write an essay. but coming up with gems such as "why not drop the phrase pub crawl" is just BS and won't help. again my personal experience of beer festivals has been fine for women and it had often been the lasses in our group organising the visits.
I will say however too many people (both sexes) are just looking for reasons to be offended. a bit like that train conductor last year who had a complaint made against him for not being inclusive for saying good morning ladies and gentlemen...... and the rail operator upheld the complaint.

Who is getting wound up by the idea of inclusion? Most people do it quite naturally without the constant grind of being told they're wrong.
Edit: maybe I missed the joke. My bad.

I doubted that could possibly be an actual thing. So I googled it. Good grief! It is true. What will the politically correct nerds come up with next?
Oh my giddy aunt, Uncle, brother, sister, neice, nephew, non-binary relative, neighbour, caterpillar, doorstop! Madness!
Sheesh!

That's what a dishwasher is for.......But who will do the washing up if both sex's go to the pub?
How depressingly predictable. It's depressing to see just how many of you have fallen for this utter nonsense of a story.
According to the Sun, one person said in a report that the language used around pub culture should be a bit more inclusive. So? One person makes a suggestion in a report (which isn't official policy btw) and suddenly all the usual suspects are up in arms. Besides what do you all think will happen here? Will the Language Police arrest you and deport you to Rwanda if you suggest a 'pint with the lads'? Of course not. This is another case of a tabloid deliberately creating a nonsense story just to rile people up.
And so many of you fall for this rubbish. Every. Single. Time.
Besides. Can anyone tell me the issue with making the idea of a pint in the local more appealing to women?

Shandy drinker detected
The litre was introduced in France in 1795 as one of the new "republican units of measurement". I hereby officially call out your claim of a farthing for 2L of gin in 1730. And what's with the damn umlauts?

I get that and don’t disagree that experiences are totally personal. We’ve had different ones. I don’t think these things are solutions in themselves but I disagree that they won’t help. There’s a certain type of bloke that seems to think they own their local and make it massively unwelcoming to newbies, especially women. I think of our old local where we walked in after moving to Manchester and my wife being stared at like she was from another planet. It was grim. It’s since closed down, funnily enough. CAMRA trying to set a different tone from the top can only be a positive thing. Protect pubs and proper beer, yes, but not everything that comes with it.
