Men are judged more harshly. Men need to pay a photographer to have their picture taken.
> This double disadvantages ..women?
Sorry, I don't follow you.
Especially since women's unrealistic judgement is to blame. Women are, objectively, rating men all wrong:

(I just pulled the first article that has the famous Okcupid graph.)

Golf clubs are super niche and self-selecting.
There are almost no spaces left which are easily discoverable by "analog" means without relying at all on social media.
The UK used to have a very strong pub and club culture. That's been collapsing for most of this century - some of it helped by government legislation.
This hasn't changed direction recently.
