But these places that allow drop ins also have membership packages/programs. And most people take on some form of membership. A bar/restaurant refusing to serve because someone is of the wrong gender is just different from being denied membership/access to an organization.

I think the criticism comes from the lack of appreciation that you exhibit for those (gasp!) "liberal" pioneers and trailblazers who came before you. Dare I call these women (gasp!) feminists? http://www.famous5.ca/ (The Famous Five are pictured on the back of the $50.00 dollar bill and they are the ones who got recognition of women as persons under the British North America Act.). Without being recognized as a "person", you could not vote, you could not have a passport, you could not have rightful access to education, I could go on and on......
But if you prefer a country that has a more "traditional" view of women, I understand that Saudi Arabia is lovely at this time of year.

Actually women got the (federal--women in Quebec couldn't vote provincially until the 1940s) vote in Canada a decade (1919) before the "persons" case (1929).
While I appreciate what the Famous 5 did, I still prefer to be an "old fashioned" type and should not be criticized by people, such as the left for doing so. Conservative people are criticized wherever they go these days while the only liberals receive the same treatment are those who do not know how to themselves properly (i.e. Rosie O'Donnell...would LOVE to send her to the same finishing/charm school her wife went to (I believe Kelli went to one...after all, she was a debutante!)).
