Obviously the remaining members think it’s better but as an adverse selection problem you can’t ask the ones that left
The notion that any members left is your own invention.
From a Reddit discussion about the same article:
> I spoke with some men at the Man Shed in Edinburgh at Christmas and they mentioned that in the cases they had heard about where women had been let in the number of male members dropped.

Aside from that, just take a look at what happened. When women joined, the men responded by finding a men-only room to “escape” to. It’s hardly a great leap to think that some of those men will escape someplace else instead.
Oh, rumours from a completely different place are to be taken as facts for this group? Very level headed analysis you got there.
Besides, as is abundantly clear from the program, they "escape" in there to have a "quiet chat" because the band saw in the big room is fucking loud.
