The claim that men's clubs discriminate in business and therefore
should be illegal is, unfortunately, probably valid. The Old Boy
network and all that.
On the other hand, I can't go to Mills College. One COULD argue that
this is also unfair because I'm being denied the education I want,
that this puts me at a disadvantage in the market, etc. Perhaps a
weaker argument, but amazing to me that the very same people who are
so violently opposed to men's clubs so violently DEFEND the existence
of women-only colleges.
Either we throw open the doors and eliminate all gender barriers, or
we don't--but at LEAST let's be fair about it.
