She looks like a hippopotamus, why doesn't she start a local chapter of the Hippos?

Well, in that case, I demand admission into the Association of Hispanic Women Engineers.

What part of "all-male club" seems to escape your comprehension?

"and several Elks members say her gender is all that kept her out of the club..." Used to be that people had sexes and words had genders...

The only place I know where no one is denied admission is the Paris Hilton.

"I realize that there are a lot of old-timers out there," said the 55-year-old Arancibia. "But I didn't think it was still like this. It's sad, really."It's sad that Ms. Arancibia thinks she should be allowed to force her way into a private organization that doesn't want her. It's sad that she doesn't respect the wishes of the members whose club she wants to join.
Why doesn't she start her own club, if what she wants is to be of service to the community?

Why can there no longer be a white heteral sexual mens group?Because we're the focus of evil in the modern world.
We would already have been exterminated if not for the fact that we own a lot of guns.

Hippos and Elks require different climates. She ought not fit in too well with the Elks, but do perfect in the mud.

Are you a guy? Yes? Let's say you had to go buy a patch for your jeans in the fabric store; there are 3 clerks, and one of them is a GUY.
Do you want HIM to wait on you?
This happened to me 2 days ago. In San Francisco.

And Mike Tyson or Kobe Bryant should be allowed to join the Girl Scouts too.And Curves, the all-female fitness centers that bar men.
And sororities, who also bar men.
Hey, and what about those all-women colleges......that also bar men?
I guess some barring is more equal than others, eh?
To: noobiangod
Just what are you insinuating Michele Arancibia may do to those men at the Elk Club if allowed to join?
Slap the boys around a bit before making them have 'consensual sex' with her?
The horror! The Horror!
To: MadeInAmerica
Let the men have their clubs. Why doesn't she have her husband join the Elks? She can be in the wives club.
What's wrong with letting men be men? I think we should stop women who try to be men.
she's just a trouble maker.>

I do not believe there is any government money involved in the Elk's activities. Nor, do they use public property.
So, under the right of free association, guess what?
They can freely choose with whom to associate!
Give the lady and Elk burger and say goodbye!

The Elk membership policy states in part "To be eligible for membership in the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, you must be a citizen of the United States over the age of 21 who believes in God." Nothing about male or female. Our Elks club is the largest in California and we accept female applicants and have a number of well respected female members. We do reject applicants both male and female however through the selection process.

The Elks actually does admit women. Perhaps it's just HER they don't want...
