I did not read it as sexist but Elias has a point on the exclusive/inclusive continuum. I stuck around for awhile to figure out how women were treated here (the majority of you are "Gentlemen") If someone gets the play on words I think they will get it with ladies included and feel included thus stick around. That said, changing the name is not a hill I want to die on.
I got the joke on the League's name the first time I visited (I know, geek and LUV the steam punk R2) Like the new name I think it may help attract/welcome/intrigue women to stick around but understand a name change will be uncomfortable for long timers so whatever the powers that be decide is OK by me.
A quick search of the internet on maternal death I found "In the United States, the maternal death rate was 11 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births in 2005.[12] This rose to 13.3 per 100,000 in 2006.[13"
