No , there’s a male equivalent but you would be welcome to attend certain events and presentations

As in it being quite warm at the minute?

As in fluid gender and such. Is it legal to bar a person from joining a group owing to their sex these days?

I don’t believe so. As far as I know there’s still men only golf clubs in the UK.

Do it. You could be Mr December on the calendar.

Well, there you go. I thought all golf clubs had to allow women now.

Depends how much you get paid IIRC

I might apply and then kick up a fuss in the media for a bit attention when they reject me. Might even legally change my sex just to jazz the shenanigans up a tad.

I could be totally wrong but I think it comes down to a members vote. Or has done in a few high profile examples recently.

Only if you take your own fairy cakes.

No one should really be excluded from anything these days!

Muirfield allowed women in only after they threatened to take the Open off them, iirc.

Ok, go on then, why?

The MI?

Yep men’s institutes

 

[The Exile]

No members in the WI.

 

[Lexingtongue]

Honestly, never heard of them before! Not as iconic as the WI, then?

 

[Thackeray]

They let men in as speakers, if you're desperate to get in like.
