    Assume you got a brochure inviting you to join a certain club. The clubs'
    activities and general makeup would be appealing to you, but people not of
    the "type" (doesn't allow women, blacks/hispanics, gays, non-christians, overweight people) cannot join.

    Would you join this club, even if these restrictions aren't something you agree with?

    I have only belonged to one club in my adult life, the South Florida Free Beaches, a nudist club. It was all inclusive and I even checked to make sure that single gender households got the same membership benefits of married couples. No one ever tried to be a member and keep their clothes on at any parties they attended, so IDK if we would have discriminated against non-nudists. Blue Cool

    So, the answer is no, I would not belong to an exclusionary club.

    Outside of perhaps a gay-male club that did not allow women. big grin

    I'd join a club like that just to shit start with them about their policies. They'd probably kick me out after that.

    I wouldn't join any club that had restrictions I did not agree with. But I could see myself joining a club that did not allow males, if the club's agenda fit that. In fact, I have been part of women's networking groups. That is pretty much like a club, I guess.

    Grouch Marx was a guest at a restricted country club and was told, because he was Jewish, he couldn't go into the swimming pool. Being Groucho, he asked, "Can my daughter go in up to her waist? She's only half-Jewish."

    Yeah - I could see myself joining something like that - or a woman's book club or fitness club - something like that. Also, if the restrictions had to do with paying and non-paying people - like say a gym, where members who didn't pay weren't allowed that would be different. I'd be okay joining something like that.
