Wait -- the Magic Circle didn't admit female members until <i>1991</i>?!<p>I thought the 1960's and 70's were when all the all-male universities and other organizations opened up to women. And that mostly groups left after that were those that had a functional reason for being all-male, i.e. male tenor-bass choirs. Or certain male "fraternal" organizations.<p>But magic obviously doesn't have any functional reason for being male, and it's about an activity (magic), it's not a fraternal organization. So how the heck did they go until <i>1991</i> before admitting women? That sounds crazy to me.
I don't understand the story, can someone explain? What I got is they try to track someone who was expelled for misrepresentation. Why? What is different today vs 30 years ago?
"I would never join a club that would have me as a member." --Groucho Marx<p>The pity is that most people are naive enough to believe that most other people are decent human beings. It took me nearly five decades to understand that I shouldn't project my basic sense of decency on others, which is a grave mistake as most people are just selfish, exclusionary morons who think they're on the 'expert' side of the Dunning-Kruger scale.<p>Selfless compassion in the small and in the large -- that's the solution to all Earth's problems.
This sounds like borderline stalking. I am not a woman, but I have my experience with getting treated unfairly/getting patronized. And I never felt like I wanted to give a bad actor a second chance to talk down to me, even if they pretend to have good intentions. If you fucked someone over, you dont have the right to run after them. Leave them alone, stop confronting them over and over again with your own stupidity.
“We’re already in talks about making a movie of her extraordinary heist.”<p>So that's why we suddenly had a change of misogynists' heart after thirty three years.<p>Magic Circle needs this expelled members written consent to use their likeness in film.
