"Reacting to a situation by banning men propagates the idea that all men are vile offensive slobs,"

That kind of hyperbolic making of molehills into mountains is probably exactly what they're trying to escape. Maybe you didn't read the whole article, but she specifically said they've formed brother guild/s for the decent men they know and want to play the game with.

They're clearly not discriminating against men, just assholes, which in WoW tend to be predominantly teenage boys. Handling this issue with any more precision (less broad discrimination) would be too time consuming for people who just want to play a game in a civil environment.
