I see the Guardian is getting it's knickers in a twist....(oops, sorry, undergarments) about The Garrick Club in London being a men only club, obviously a dig at white old men is compulsory so no surprises there.....so, what's the big deal?

 

It sounds like a place where I wouldn't want to go but what's the problem about men having their own club?  Are men not allowed a safe space, or a place to go without women there.....why not?

 

Do women really want to go into this place or is it just to cause fake outrage?

 

There are many women only clubs, at least 6 in London alone, do men complain about that, of course they don't, so why can't men have a club purely for men?

Why is the Guardian not making a big deal of Women only clubs?

Totally agree with you,  treading on men's coattails again,  get your own flippin' club,  do your own thing fgs you're giving men 'too much respect' if you know what I mean,

embarrassing imo.

They do have their own clubs Cressida, many of them.

Because then it would be sexist, but not before 😉

 

But also because men couldn't care less and are happy to get rid of their women for a few hours peace 😂

They look lovely. But they wouldn't let me in.

But I am completely ok with that, 

 

It's really not important.

To be honest I'm not that bothered if they don't let women in, and I don't understand why anybody else would be that bothered.

Okay it's at the heart of the British establishment, but I'm not going to get angry on behalf of the power hungry and already well placed. 

I've never believed 'if you can't beat them join them' motto.
