I actually don't find her being a member of an "all-women's club" to be that big of a deal.

But if she were male and a member of an "all-men's club" would be a big deal?

Oh, that's different.

The left. Sad thought process... and it will catch up.

No. That would be fine by me as well.

I, personally, support anyone, including SC justices, in joining whatever exclusive club (men's only, women's only, blacks only, whites only, Christians only, Jews only, Muslims only) they wish. It is the right of assembly. I'm afraid that "righteous" clamoring against these will prompt an activist Supreme Court to declare such clubs illegal.

This is the truly scary alternative, and it's just not right to carp about them.

Well, yeah, she should stay in that club if she really wanted to since the former woman justice was also a member of that female club. I really think that Rahm and David were afraid their appointee would stumble over the club and it would cost her her seat.

Being a sexist isn't considered by many to be wrong for a woman but I do think that many really do dislike men for the same thing.
