"...promotion and business development networking opportunities are so male-oriented – ‘golf days, a trip to the rugby, Friday nights in the pub.

‘They have a gender element to them which can be excluding.’..."

Removing the gender disparity is vital, but there are other biases to bear in mind too and it's more nuanced than that. Ironically the statement above reinforces the stereotypical male-female traits. Those networking opportunities don't favour men, they favour men (probably, though not exclusively) who like golf, rugby and drinking.
