Female Politician May Lose Votes From Men-Only Club

A Massachusettes politician who was told she cannot speak at a men-only veterans dinner because she is female is enraged and thinking of taking legal action, according to this story on Excite News. The club in question does have some female members, but is a bona fide private club and can, therefore, exclude whom it wishes. The woman says that she could lose a prime networking opportunity if not allowed to attend the dinner. Silva told DeFranco the men-only dinners are a tradition. "And that's the way it's going to be," he said.
