Shut the door on Harvard’s all-male clubs

Karen Straughan has pointed out that males resist female encroachment on all-male spaces because the females then take over and demand politically-correct conformity (policing of language, of jokes, etc).

Uni clubs may not seem a major issue, but the non-stop feminist onslaught is dealing "death by a thousand cuts" to the rights of half the human race.

And Bigeyedbunny is right that resistance has often seemed futile:

The only major battle we have won is the conversion of "take our daughters to work" to "take our daughters and sons to work".

We have made some progress in joint custody.

But we've had to be reactive, as shown by the fight against the Dear Colleague letter.

It's food for thought. Is gynocentrism biological in both male and female? Does that have implications for MR strategy?

The dean of Harvard College, Rakesh Khurana, has declared war on the all-male "final clubs", demanding they either admit women or face discipline under the guise that it will "reduce sexual assaults".

Two important points:

Harvard has six all-male clubs, five all-female clubs (and two that are coed). There is no discussion of any kind to make the all-female clubs include male students.
These clubs are completely private, located off-campus on private land and have no official connection to Harvard.

I wish it were different, but I don't think they'll be able to withstand the PC hurricane. I'm hoping they stand their ground.

This epitome of hypocrisy will defend all-female clubs to the death.

If the goal is to reduce sexism, I could understand "Shut the door on Harvard single-sex organizations."

That would at least be gender neutral. Should there be no place for men or women to spend time without the other?

Does Radcliff still exist? Should it be closed too?

Is there even a shred of evidence connecting these clubs to any actual sexual assaults?

This fellow Richard Porteus is superb:

“The dean will develop policies that will discriminate against students that in their private life exercise their right of association,” Porteus said. “It would be possible for students who enroll in Harvard to join the Nazi party or the Ku Klux Klan, [but not] Harvard final clubs.”
