I don't see what's wrong with the community determining what official
clubhouses there are. I object to this divisive and discriminatory
list as a human being, not as a man. When I contribute, I do not think
of myself as a "male contributor", a "homosexual contributor", or a
"student contributor" and fail to see why any of these aspects should
deny me access to particular areas of discussion.

If the real reason for this list is the level of aggression on this
list, then make the list based upon that aspect. I'm sure there are
many non-female contributors who object to some of the aggression on
this list.
