Why there is no gender filter for clubs?

We have filters like age, skill etc but there is no gender filter!
I would like to make a club of old ladies having coffee/tea and gossip all the time.
The problem is that the eligible sims that show up are not all the sims in the worlds and not being able to filter by gender reduces the possibility to see the females I want to add to this club as half of the numbers shown will be males.
Why Maxis did not add gender in the filter?
Why there is no "Gossip" interaction in the social activities? I know it is part of the friendly interaction but so is the "hug". Hug is also part of the friendly actions yet it is shown as a separate activity.
For separate activities in the social I would have loved to see things like "Gossip" to make the gossip club or chit chat club. and also autonomous "Ask about sim" "Talk about sim" where I could make few elder ladies get together and talk about people they knew to each other.

Everything I post is an opinion here and I think every post of others is as well.

I just set most of my clubs to private anyway, for extra reasons but that's one.
I don't know much about typical inviting selectability as I recently started a new save with my own buildings and am still bringing in Sims and they hardly know anyone, haha. It's taking weeks, so I cannot comment about difficulty inviting Sims for gender reasons because I have a different reason. Ah well.

You can still have all women/girl or men/boy clubs if you want. I mean if you really wanted you could do the same for ethnicity. You just can't tag it as an official requirement, but obviously the player has control over who gets in or get kicks out. (for the most part)

Gender has become a sensitive topic recently.
Sometimes your creativity is limited where you use it most, but you can use those limitations to inspire new forms of creativity you may never have thought of beforehand.
I mean this is so silly. So does EA have to remove male and female from CAS also because people might get offended?
And who are those people who might be offended for such a thing? When in real life every passport has "Gender" in it, so for a game they will be offended?
Those who get offended by such things should STOP playing games. A game is not supposed to accommodate such fragile mentality. People do not get offended by strong violence, strong gore, strong language in games but they get offended by a male/female filter!!
Why do I need a gender filter because the game does not show all the eligible sims in the world. The club thing is a way to let sims know each other so when I make a club of elder ladies I want them all to know each other. I don't have one specific sim in mind to know her and invite.
However, I don't think EA did not add this because of this reason.
But those who will get offended by that should have stopped playing The Sims since the first version because this is not there when you create sims.
For me not to get a basic option because someone is going to get offended by something silly like this is just absurd.
The question is why do we have it in CAS? and those who get offended why do they even play this game?
We are not talking about sexuality here but male or female.
What I am asking here a filter to be added not something compulsory. So there will be people who are offended by age filter, and others will be offended by the wealth filter (poor/rich discrimination) does that mean we should stop having options in the game to accommodate every closed mentality?
This is not a filter. A filter is when it is added to the right menu.
No I don't have a particular sim. I have a town of over 500 sims. I want to make different clubs of strangers to get together and know each other.

This exactly.
Plus the club requirements turn up in gameplay. I'd prefer that a club that I've conceived of as women-only (or men-only) for gameplay reasons not be inviting a male (or female) Sim I'm playing to join it. And while yes, I can just have Dave decline the invitation to join the Women Boxers, it's not good for immersion that Jane invited him in the first place.
Thats a nice thing to have but when the basic filter is not there how are we gonna set rules based on gender?
Nothing is wrong at all. But some people obviously have their minds packed in a can of beans that they find anything and everything as offensive!
You have said it very precisely. You are playing Tom and you receive a call from Linda inviting him to Single Ladies Club!! This does not feel good.
Honestly I did not expect Maxis to ignore such a basic but important filter.
well sims dont have trans
there is only two options female and males its been like that forever

It might just need to be one of those many OTHER things that you have to headcanon away in the game. Ooops, Jane thought she was inviting Tomina.
And though it doesn't apply directly to what you want, don't forget the girls only and boys only doors from Spa Day. They may look odd on a nightclub entrance, but it works.
You will see the problem once you play.
But The Sims is a fictional world. Imagining a dictatorship for their sims to live in doesn't make the player a dictator. Creating a gentlemen's club for my 19th century sims doesn't make me less of a feminist in real life. After all, Murder mystery writers would not be considered murderers irl, either.
I think in the broadest sense the problem is that the developers percieve the sims as avatars of the players who live through them. So everything a sim does in a given situation is implied to be what the player would do in the same situation. Whereas for me the sims are characters in a story that unfolds according to my rules while I "float" above the playground, not being part of it myself.
