REDDIT IS LEJUN XDDDDDDDD
'''"Women weren't the intended audience"''' is an excuse for sexist incidents in which the excuse is that women shouldn't have been/weren't expected to be listening or taking part in the place where the incident took place.
 
 
This excuse seems to place sexism as something that is a sort of etiquette problem, in that it shouldn't take place in mixed company. It ignores the fact that many men are anti-sexist, and that creating a sexist environment signals that it is likely to be oppressive in general (for example, an environment that is anti-women might be reasonably supposed by gay men to be homophobic).
 
 
This is related to [[Invisibility]], except rather than pretending that women aren't present or being surprised that they are present, it tries to insist that they not be present (or not listen).
