As for equality... good luck. I couldn't care less at this point.
Everybody wants to be treated fairly, nobody wants to play fair. That's the world... that's humanity... always been that way, always will be.

They formed in 2016! The rest is just marketing. Yes there were women's clubs as far back as 1868... this has nothing to do with them. They are simply leading you to infer that they are connected.

From the limited reading I've done it appears that the founders of the wing are using the idea of a "feminist workspace" to exploite women.

So is this like the "good old girls club" (sort of like the "good old boys club") where only the wealthy can play?
