Having led many, many, many, many (etc) more people in more hours of raiding than I'd ever like to actually count myself, I can totally understand why a group dedicating themselves to being the absolute best, no nonsense, do it or die kind of place would want a unisex organization.
When girls are involved, boys start acting stupid. They give them things for no good reason, they hit on them (constantly), they start acting creepy, they start jockeying for position in the girls' affections. Girls in the group get catty, very quickly, especially against the ones that get the most attention. It can go downhill very quickly.
Now none of this, is the fault of the women. I totally understand that - however a raid group is not an EOE Workplace, there are no sex discrimination laws guiding their recruitment and placement, and there is nothing requiring anyone to be fair.
As a casual raider, I am more than willing to put up with the difficulties of personal interaction - I prided myself on being able to take a group of 30ish inexperienced people into Molten Core or BWL with my friends helping lead, and getting them through every boss, even if it took all night. I was involved very heavily with one of (if not THE) the largest non-guild groups ever run on WoW - and we had drama-aplenty, but we could still run successful raids, and we did.
But from that perspective, how much less drama would we have had without the catfights and relationship issues? Probably 80% less, because people start acting really stupidly when intimate relationships get involved, and that caused a huge amount of issues. A hardcore raiding guild, trying to cut all the excess from their group, is going to want to avoid that, and if they can achieve that by being unisex, they are probably going to. And they'd hardly be the first guild to do that.
