No one really cares. It’s a private club FFS. I don’t give a rat’s ass what they do. Someone is a bit obsessed with this.

My husband and I declined an offer to be members there years ago because of the separate dining areas and some other unacceptable attitudes.
It’s mind numbing watching these kinds of things happen and people not having the strength of character to do the right thing
LOL, okay. Sure you did.
I know -- this is a BS post. No one is offered a membership to decline. In fact half of the initiation fee has to be paid before you would come off the wait list so no this did nto happen.
I think she means she had members encourage her to join and offer to sponsor her. We’ve had the same from several people over the years but never wanted to pursue it. I don’t want my kids growing up in that kind of environment and can’t see myself hanging out there when they’re grown and out of the house.
They’re not begging for members. Go on your merry way. You wouldn’t fit in there anyway
Hmm, my sense is it’s private school parents wanting other private school parents to join so their kids are hanging out with school friends and not public school kids.

Sit with that for a bit.
One of the wokest, most liberal neighborhoods in Arlington has an apartheid wall at its northern border to keep out the black residents of Halls Hill and Highview Park. They refuse to remove it because of its "historic" nature. Maybe once Halls Hill and Highview Park are completely gentrified, the will remove the wall.
