it's not really about 'diversity.' that implies that the only reason people want these things is as some patronizing try at making power minorities feel included by letting them into your club, and that's not the full picture. the point is that there's fundamentally no reason for these exclusivity rules to exist other than as a traditional relic of a time where we institutionally reinforced the idea that there are excessive and burdensome differences that justify the divides. if we no longer believe those things to be true, then there's no reason for the rules to remain. the action isn't just symbolic or political, it's a legitimate end result of our society changing the way it looks at its participants in relation to their gender.
also having more people coughing up their parent's big bucks to fund you isn't bad either

how's it different? girls are getting an obviously inferior experience to boys based on historical presumptions of the differences between lovees

i'm implying that you're loveist
which is comparable to, but not the same thing, as racism
