Harvard Social Clubs Reject Women

Article here. Excerpt:

'Members of the oldest all-male club at Harvard have almost never spoken publicly about the organization since its founding in 1791. This week, that silence was broken when an official with the group, the Porcellian Club, said that admitting women could increase the chances of sexual misconduct.

“Forcing single-gender organizations to accept members of the opposite sex could potentially increase, not decrease, the potential for sexual misconduct,” Charles M. Storey, the president of the club’s alumni group, wrote on Tuesday in a letter to The Harvard Crimson, the student newspaper.

As news of the comments, which came in the midst of an effort at Harvard to prevent sexual assault, spread around campus on Wednesday, so did criticism and satire, including an article titled “Club of Wealthy White Men Comes Out in Support of Status Quo.”'

First, the Social clubs are private. They are not Harvard affiliated. They are off campus. The guys own their own houses.

As you read this story and other versions, no one is getting to the point: the men are afraid of false rape accusations. Everyone is just considering this misogyny and not one of personal safety.

Finally....

NO ONE is calling for the end of the all-female social clubs at Harvard. Yes, those exist. And will exist. And that seems to bother no one.

If Harvard keeps this up, and is actually successful in banning all male social groups, they have basically checkmated the existence of all female social groups, and "safe spaces" on campus. By Title IX, if men can't have single gender groups and spaces, then women can't either.

The gender ideologues are going to shoot themselves in the foot with this one.
