why would any woman vote for a man who

[donsu]

belonged to a secret male club?

history has showed us that secret male clubs are not advantageous for women.

1. Yes, but lot of women did not want the vote 80 years ago

[RandomKoolzip]

3. That's only because men were telling them that they didn't want it

[donsu]

4. I disagree

show me where a lot of women didn't want the right to vote

[slackmaster]

2. I doubt many men didn't belong to a males-only club at some point

Most of us got over that one in adolescence.

[donsu]

6. these men haven't got over it and they stand silent

about it. they took vows.

5. Women voted for Clinton is spite of allegations made against him

7. 911 changed everything...blah blah blah

Murika, freedom, Saddam, evil.

8. I don't see a connection...oh wait, the Bohemian Grove...........

9. A 27-year history of being a champion for women?

That would be a good reason.

Starting even before Kerry was elected Lt. Governor, as an assistant DA:

With a $3.8 million infusion of federal funds he helped obtain, Kerry nearly tripled the staff, and many of the new hires were women. He launched initiatives that were innovative at the time: special units to prosecute white-collar and organized crime, programs to counsel rape victims and aid other crime victims and witnesses, and a system for fast-tracking priority cases to trial. He also directed the investigation that led to the first conviction of Somerville's Howie Winter, one of the state's notorious gangsters. Despite his administrative duties, Kerry managed to try some cases and won convictions in a high-profile rape case and a murder.

11. well, the truth is now that Skulls & bones is no longer male only...

I find the whole issue repugnant, but then there were many traditional fraternities and sororities that did pretty repugnant things during my college days...

I wish Yale would shut the whole thing down though-- perhaps after facing a class action lawsuit from Native Americans over the whole Geronimo grave desecration thing...
