You raise an interesting, and quite conventional point, Cap'n(or may I call you Dick?). But is it necessarily a fair point?
My partner(who is female) runs a women's community choir. Does that, of itself, make her and her colleagues men-haters? The fact that Morris Ring types have reasons, whether personal or historical(erroneous or not), to dance in male groups surely doesn't actually prove they hate women doesa it|?
(I grind no axe here, I've never danced the morris with men, ladies or green lizards).
