Like so many things, they have missed the point.
In the past there were fewer resources, so efficiency and effectiveness were crucial to survival, therefore it was more efficient to train men and boys (who grow in to men) martial arts as they were considerably more likely to be effective as soldiers/guards/protectors compared to teaching "women, and teens of all sizes, races, ages, orientations, and physical abilities" with the off chace one of them will be as good as a man.
More importantly, they are right that HEMA is indeed a coed sport. But HEMA doesnt simulate armor, all you have to do is get the hit. So you can indeed use technique to overcome strength differences that wouldnt apply IRL if armor was involved.
