Re: Workingmen's clubs
Having read the thread, I wonder whether everyone here actually bothered to read the BBC report before jumping on the bandwagon? I'm all for preserving the male right to form men-only clubs and go on men-only activities and I believe only the most blinkered, fired-up feminist would argue the point. But the situation at this club in Blackpool is quite different. Women are allowed in, and they are allowed membership of a sort, but in all circumstances what they are allowed to have is secondary to what the men are allowed. That, in my view, is discrimination. The men in this case aren't wanting some space away from women, they just don't want the women to have an equal say in affairs.
