I'm on vacation right now, so I can't go and visit the Missing Member myself, but if someone in game would be so kind as to go and talk to the Lalafell NPC standing outside the Missing Member to the right. Talk to her and she'll specifically tell you that, despite the establishment's name, men are very much allowed. Not just "tolerated." Just... if you're smart... don't piss off Rhoswen, or else you'll end up like that last man who did who is now missing a member. Hence the bar's name.
EDIT: (Added quote in question)
A bit of 1.0 history! There's a reason the Sanguine Sirens are predominantly female.
If you recall back to Sastasha normal mode, you come across several maidens trapped by Reavers. Rhoswen's crew is made up of (often times) battered women Rhoswen rescued from such situations like slavery, abusive husbands, or downtrodden females of Limsa Lominsa. Many of Rhoswen's crew (and its hinted that Rhoswen as well) have had rather graphic-ly violent histories involving men. It's not that they're lesbians. Though some undoubtedly may be LGBT. The Sanguine Sirens, first and foremost, are a pirate crew of survivors determined to not only get past past trauma, but to overcome, and become better than those who preyed upon them before.
And yes, the Missing Member was established by Rhoswen shortly after the Calamity when the Knights of the Barracuda took over training Marauders instead of the pirates who gathered on the Astalicia. That said, we don't know whether Rhoswen's old ship, Lady Infernal, survived the Calamity. If she lost the ship, it might explain why she moved on land to establish the bar?
