A feminized environment is something rather different from a
woman-friendly environment just as a masculinized environment such as a
biker bar is different from an environment which welcomes men.

Your language is interesting. Vaginas are hardly the center of attention
in either a feminized or woman-friendly environment. As to "people with
vaginas being all up in [my] world", certainly there are issues, but
troublesome people come in all genders.
