On the Garrick Club issue, it strikes me as a bit sad that men wanting a place where they can be together with other men is looked on as weird and disreputable. Objecting to such things is very WEIRD in the sociological sense of that word.
(WEIRD in the latter sense is a shorthand for Western, educated, industrialized, rich, democratic).
