The soft option

Brethern, keep in mind the ‘soft option’ – if we recognise such ‘non-regular’ Masonic bodies such as Co-Masonry and Women’s Freemasonry, then we can still allow for a greater acceptance for a single gender Freemasonry, and less pressure placed ourselves to change. It is not so much women want to join Male Craft as the need for us men to recognize that women CAN meet as equally intelligent creatures within the same independant environment.
