Well put - and how can this interaction be repeated without anyone actually stepping forward to start doing so in the first place?! The statement about the Old Boy's Club - well, the term doesn't have to be that. All this means is that a group meets and does stuff which they would like to do. And the only way this can change is, if there are women who are regular enough with the meetings (regular doesn't mean EVERY meet either - once in a couple of months should be good enough) and list interactions (even these needn't be that frequent).
