Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?
This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Notes -
Private clubs can only discriminate based on protected characteristics (race, sex, etc) if the characteristic is intrinsic to the purpose of the organization (beyond simple bigotry) and the club doesn't act as a de facto barrier for something like career advancement (no male-only golf club if that's where all your partner meetings are held and where the firm entertains high-value clients).
For something like the Boy Scouts or various fraternal organizations, you're mostly in the clear. Boy Scouts of America v. Dale held that, because the BSA was an explicitly religious organization dedicated to molding young men according to a particular set of principles, it had the right to exclude gay men from participating as scoutmasters.
Most men's clubs that aren't too closely tied to professional advancement are generally safe in a way that a white men's club is not. In theory, this applies the same with other racial groups, which is why you'll often see fine print explaining that everyone is welcome at, say, the black lawyers networking night, even though everyone knows that's not the way it works in practice. Every once in a while you'll see a story about some guy winning a women's group's college scholarship or something because allowing only women to apply would be illegal and nobody bothered to read the name on the resume he submitted.
