I don't buy into any of that crap. Too many groups segregating people. And the people who join them don't understand that.

I've asked that once or twice at my board. What I got back was that WCR is from a time when women were the minority and now the group is open to both men and women.

I think we should start a MCR and meet at the local cigar store or scotch bar... just to keep the stereotypes alive.

Because if there were a MCR, nothing would ever get done since we would constantly get lost and never ask directions.

you do bring up a valid point and I encountered this in the legal professional constantly.

WCR welcomes men as members! As a matter of fact, there are quite a few men who are in leadership positions in various local and state chapters throughout the country. Go for it!

It was started long ago when women were the minority so they could have a voice. I would imagine that a group of men could organize one. But since WCR allows men in it, the MCR would have to allow women.
