104. Well, you must admit you did talk about

believing that it should be OK to start the Men Engineers' Society. Which is OK with me, but it's a bit like the Women Elementary Schoolteachers" Society; people will ask "Why?"

But, OK, you understand why the Women Engineers' Society exists, you just think it's unfair that you can't have the Men Engineers' Society without people complaining.

Organizations are always problematic. I quit the American Association of University Women when they changed the rules to allow men to become members, but still restricted the membership to college graduates. Why change one without the other? Especially when there are still older women who had no way to go to college because families only educated sons in their day, older women who are sharp as tacks and have read more than many college grads.
