My guess is Mr. Johnson will resign after this year and the next President of the club will invite a woman to join - a very carefully selected woman who won't push anything. Then this whole controversy will die.

It isn't the function of "corporate weasels" to stand up for political causes. Their job is to make profits so the shareholders get a return on investment.

If I were a shareholder in a corporation, and saw that the CEO had insisted "on principle" to sponsor someone or something that brought disrepute on the company, and caused me to lose money, I'd want him fired.

I don't invest to lose money on some quixotic statement against feminism, etc.
