No comment on your organization's ideals, those may ultimately be incompatible with what I'm about to say, but I'm not sure that these women who do attend these parties and play into these themes are necessarily anti-feminist. Heck--they're exhibiting a lack of sexual inhibition, freedom and power, if nothing else. Or at least that's one possible interpretation. And of course, many of the women attending these events, in many cases, will be GDI, so the founders' values concept really doesn't apply.

Maybe it is how I was raised, my personal values, or high self esteem but I managed to never attend any party with a theme that degraded women, or any other group of people who may have, or still are marginalized. I'm still waiting for an invite to 33girl's "Federal Express" party where the guys line up by package size and delivery time

Maybe you're placing too much emphasis on the theme and too little on how people behave? The later is just as important as the former.
