What part of "all-male club" seems to escape your comprehension?
The Elks actually does admit women. Perhaps it's just HER they don't want...
Funny, I know a woman here in Indy that's a member of the Elks club. Her dad was a grand poohbah or whatever at another chapter in another county.
I wouldn't say that Elks as a whole is all male. Perhaps just that chapter.
