- Guess this means that men now can "crash" women-only groups -- sororities,
- NOW meetings, women's sports, and the like.
- It's interesting how easily people can speak out of both sides of their
- mouths without knowing they're doing it. I once listened to a woman
- wax poetic in a lengthy tirade against discrimination -- gender and racial --
- only to take a quick breath and then wax poetic about the virtues of the
- college she'd recently graduated from being women-only -- and proudly so!
-
- If women want an end to men-only clubs and groups, let them lead the
- way by banishing women-only clubs and groups.
