I think this response was completely uncalled for. No one is talking
about your sex, but rather the membership requirements of your chapter.
You are not being forced to change, at least not yet.
Coming from a coed chapter, and also having been active in the Order of
the Arrow (BSA) when women were first allowed in, I think I can possibly
see both sides of this debate, but I am always genuinely intersted in
the opinions of others. However, please keep your comments relevant,
and do *NOT* belittle someone just because they ask for your opinion.
