Men only? Do they allow Queers?

Tough luck for them, then.

If the ladies want to go somewhere, let them work out at one of those women-only health clubs.

Nobody is stopping powerful women from forming their own “Bohemian Club”.

Oh, waaah. I cannot express how utterly tired I am, of hearing women whine about private organizations that have the temerity to freely associate with whomever, upon whatever grounds, that they wish to associate.

Go gripe to your fellow harridans down at the women-only gym, the women-only political club, the women-only business club, or, better yet, get off your plenteous and well-upholstered duffs and go form your own Grove of Bohemian Wymmin and dance around under the full moon baying to Gaia, for crying out loud.

Just shut up already.

The male-only bastion's discriminatory polices hurt women trying to compete in business and politics -- and everyone in politics knows it.

Is she implying this is a bad thing?

If men weren't the ones doing the heavy lifting of public leadership and private business, day in and day out, when nobody is looking at them, "affirming" them, or "empowering" them, men would not be the movers and shakers in politics and business. It would be women. Or tree frogs. Or whoever was showing up and doing the work. Women would be the ones the whiners of the Western world were suing and protesting against, demanding the privilege of hanging out with them.

Notice, it's only the successful men whom women like this faux-conservative writer want to associate with. You don't see gals protesting their exclusion from men's shelters.

It is the blessing and the curse of womankind that they expect nice things to be served to them on a platter. This is their right and privilege in many areas of life. But no one can whisk away reality for them—especially not the reality of grunt work and obsessive networking, by which men create resources and lavish them on their wives and daughters.

The mentioned Judge Vaughn Walker is openly homosexual if that’s what you meant. If you meant something else, well, they did allow McCain to speak, Chris Matthews and Pelosi’s husband to be members.

I’m still struggling to figure out what her point was in penning this lame, aimless screed.

So there’s a PRIVATE club that doesn’t want female members, and at one time wouldn’t hire female workers until forced to by the fedgov. So what?

Is she defending the club’s former hiring practices? She SHOULD if she actually believed in freedom of association!

Thus, in the Bay Area, good liberals and civil libertarians, who would not dream of joining a club that refuses to admit blacks or Jews, raise their glasses in a club that discriminates against women.

I'm sure many would be delighted to belong to a club that excluded blacks and Jews (and Baptists and Chinese and three-headed guys from Jupiter). But who gives a freep? If they want to play, "I'm so Special and you're not!" like a group of 8th graders, why should adults care?

Women . . . many just can't resist the obsession to snoop, control and generally

ruin everything

It's forbidden to talk about or solicit business at the club or grove.

Right. I'm sure it never ever happens.

What about Lesbians? They’re not really women.

One woman admitted might not be a bad thing at all -

Put two women in the same room and you have two guaranteed outcomes -

Catfights and sexual competitiveness

Queers probably predominate!

Since they equate women with spiders, they most likely cater in that direction.

The whole thing seems chicken screwing, Queer to me.

I’ve always wondered about all Male clubs.

They have an all female club similar to this called the Belizean Club. Activities they describe as “a balance of fun, substantive programs and bonding.”

Love to be a fly on the wall at this gathering!
