That's not true. If a club or organization is high profile enough, it will come under fire. Augusta National is one I can think off off the top of my head. Eventually they admitted some women. Private clubs can legally avoid discrimination issues, but they don't want the hassle and bad press if they are famous enough to warrant attention.

Are women 'invading' and 'taking over', no. However there is far more tolerance for all women's spaces than there is for all men's. Look at 'all women' colleges. If men(non T's) tried to get into some of the women's ones, we all know what the reaction would be whereas if it was the other way around, people would be pushing for the all men one to admit women.

Right, that makes a lot of sense really.

Very good point which is why what's happening with female sports is so sad to see.
