no idea, haven’t seen screenshots of this yet. But it would be far fetched 
I think gender locked guilds sound based.

From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired for the purity of the blessed machine. Your kind clings to your flesh as if it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass that you call a temple will wither and you’ll beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved. For the machine is immortal. Even in death, I serve the Omnissiah

Except that one dude who had a very unhealthy relationship with the GM…

If you know, you know
depends on the race.
if it was a gnome female only guild called Gno Men Allowed, I’d accept it.

No clue what happened to them, or if it still exists… or have been mentioned. I’m not reading all this.
I recall a guild called the Serpent Sisterhood (I think it was). Which was female only.
They’re still about I think.
I don’t see there being a problem of having gender locked guilds, depending on the context of course. Works easier for Night Elves more than any other guild I can think on the top of my head.
There was gender discrimination amongst Orcs and Dwarves but that seems to have been smoothed over in recent years. Then there was the (now non-canon) gender discrimination in Troll society too.
Sisters of Steel, a female human/dwarf/gnome group from the RPG.
Have they made an appearance in game yet?
Unsurprisingly they have not
we do however have a female only town of vry’kul shieldmaidens.
And I might add, until recently I think, the dark rangers were a female exclusive group.

Only up to a certain point, after BfA it’s a bit weird considering how many night elves died.
Keyword being ‘was’, and as for dwarves it was more Magni personally than anything found in dwarven culture.
Which is non-canon, unfortunately.
The Hyldnir are strictly matriarchal, but they weren’t technically female only - they had men, they are just used as slaves. Non-vrykul women aren’t treated much better.
They were, with Nathanos being the sole exception (and so far the only known human dark ranger), but this has since been retconned. Male elven dark rangers have always existed now.
Then again if you seek a coven they are mostly female so let us hope you meant that lol
I don’t see what’s wrong with the question, there at least has been a male character only guild, some sort of brotherhood I think it was, and isn’t serpent sisterhood or what they’re called on Horde a female only guild like someone somewhere 100 posts up said?
It could be a relly neat idea with a sisterhood/coven something guild with female characters only.

A ‘coven’ has never had to be strictly female only - if you know your witchlore.
SOME covens were female only, however.

As have also been said already, in general, WoW and warcraft doesn’t really do gender split occupations/groups/organizations. Like at all.
In the past, mainly in old lore before WoW, there was some of it. Mainly night elves, but others existed too. All of that has been scrubbed away though, either by retcons or by story changes. Because the thing is, those weren’t there by how to put this, proper design.
Early Warcraft belonged to the 80-90’s D&D fantasy. It was very unoriginal. And like that era’s fantasy, there was gender restrictions(mainly towards females) for no other reason than “its how the setting is. It’s fantasy. It’s part of it.” Night elves being an exception because they were essentially a re-skin of drows.(So matriarch instead of patriarch).
As Warcraft found its own footing to step away from old D&D, it’s done away with all of that. It’s not a concept in Warcraft’s universe & societies.

A little more complicated than that, the original vision being a weird mix of warhammer wood elf ripoffs (still semi-true), mountain fortress axe weilding dwelves and native american fantasy á la tauren.

True with their society yeah. I was thinking more of the “Darker/blue skinned elf ladies in skimpy clothing that lives without the men.”

Nothing wrong with the question, and there’s some answers and suggestions in the thread.
What people are concerned about is the purpose and reasoning for OP to want this. The person might want a female-only guild (both IC and OOC, even though it’s never been specified whether this is IC only) as a safe space, they might want a sisterhood kind of RP, etc. But they also might want it for shadier purposes. The question they’ve asked is ambiguous and open to speculation.
As previously stated, gendered guilds make little sense to me - especially now that gender-specific lore (for example, the Night Elven hierarchy ) is outdated.

That’s so loose that it barely applies. They’ve always been closer to stereotypical amazons and elves dressing skimpy is time honoured tradition no matter what.
Drow dress like that to show off, that they have nothing to hide, be ashamed of nor fear. And kaldorei don’t have a weird bdsm thing going on.
Speaking of exlusive guilds, I 'member a female only guild way back when having a fuss when a member was revealed to be a guy irl. Generally speaking, things like these turn weird fast no matter who’s excluded.
