[quote=Anonymous]Let's clarify the issue- there is a men's lounge and a women's lounge- that is not the question. The main question relates the men's GRILL (not lounge) which is a restaurant that only men can use.

There are many members who are speaking up and against putting money towards renovating the Men's Grill. That is the outdated, sexist element and why people are upset. There are so many reasons people are upset and don't want to put money towards the Mens Grill. How can a club, with female members (not a spouse; the actual member) be told to pay this money for a renovation for a space they are NOT ALLOWED to use. If you don't play tennis, but the club is spending money to make the tennis space better- that is on the member, they have the CHOICE to play tennis at the facility they have to pay for. But for this Men's Grill, they want to renovate it as part of a larger project and this is why people are upset. Just turn that Men's Grill into a Grill for men and women- imagine that!

While I am sure some people are mad this got out, I am very ok with it. The Board told its members they were not going to discuss the matter of single gender spaces any more and would propose a house renovation plan members could vote on. This is a big issue and won't just be swept under the rug.

As for those you may know whose name is not on the letter, be sure you are looking at the most recent letter.  People keep signing on. [/quote]
