It wouldn't matter to me what color the men are, I would still feel the same way. I for one, don't care if your organization is dedicated to "your kind" or not. The problem I have is with the similiarities.
We understand we do not have exclusive use of certain things such as pearls, colors, or the ivy leaf. However, I feel when too many of these symbols are used collectively to define or represent another organization, then I have a problem with that regardless of the organization or the gender of its membership.
So, please don't come into our forum telling us about fact vs. heresay. It's not rituals we are speaking of. It is the presentation.
