among the women entering those spaces in the ‘80s I can attest to the walls filled with images of older white men; we used to joke about how long it would take to change the décor demographics. In the mid-90s I attended a colloquium talk by Sandra Harding
in the UCLA Philosophy Dept; the reception in the department lounge still only had images of older white men on the walls.

</span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<div><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am not sure how much insight I can add to this discussion, but here goes with a broader contextual report on the men's clubs.
</span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I worked at IBM from 1974 through 2012, all in jobs that required my dealing with customers, senior public officials, and with institutions of long standing, many over a century
in existence. Such clubs were largely dining and conference room facilities, often established long before there were such facilities in business offices and hotels. So until the end of the 1970s and by custom into the 1980s in the US there existed clubs
dedicated to specific professions or white collar professions more generally and were neutral ground where private conversations could be had, say, between business leaders and state governors and legislators. I know, as I hosted some over the years in New
York (Yale Club), Atlanta, Nashville, and Madison, WI, among others. Most clubs--yes you had to join so only people in those professions, etc.were admitted--were thus aimed at the social, business, and political elite. These were very useful facilities.
Portraits of famous members hung on the walls, largely a 19th century practice that ended in the cases I recall by the end of the 1920s. You could always get a magnificent steak (guy food), creamed spinach (fabulous everywhere), mashed potatoes and if you
want, Bourbon over ice at lunch time. But the point I want to make is that when these clubs were formed, its members were in professions not occupied by women, e.g., no female governors or CEOs. These places were strictly for conducting business in a casual
way, i.e., over a meal or a drink, so having women participate would have disturbed the model. In large cities, women had tea rooms in large department stores by the end of the 1880s where they--often the wives of the men's clubs' members--could meet. Not
until the 1960s when women had started a pretty extensive penetration into the professions served by these men's clubs did the issue of their membership begin to be discussed and acted upon. IT industry techi managers were part of the scene. </span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is not meant to be a defense of these clubs, rather an explanation for their behavior, which its members probably as a group did not view as a problem until women pushed back
since such descrimination prevented them from using similar facilities with which to cultivate customers, clients, etc. More obviously a problem, however, was that these clubs were notoriously hostile toward having African American members. If my recollections
are still intact, in almost every one of the facilities, all the servers were African American males, often over the age of 40. A few white female servers also worked in these clubs.</span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I might add, a parallel circumstance existed with golf country clubs, but since these were largely the product of post WWI America, the gender barrier had not taken as strong a
hold across the nation. Some clubs stipulated what days women could use the restaurant without their husbands, and there were days when the course was available only to the "Ladies," usually Wednesdays or Thursdays. They could, however, play tennis or use
the swimming pools whenever they wanted. But, right to the end of the 20th century there were some clubs that blocked women--recall the Masters Tournament (Augusta National Golf Club) in the 2010s that tried to block IBM's CEO, Ginni Rometty, from being a
member (although for 80 years all of IBM's CEOs were) and yet IBM was a corporate sponsor. Eventually they let her join the club and she walked in wearing a pink sports jacket! I think that day thousands of American IBM women let out a cheer.</span></div>

men were allowed in the Berkeley Faculty Club, so when Tarski suggested at a lunch that there were many problems to be solved about rational arithmetic, Julia was not present. Raphael suggested that to her later, and that's how Julia's famous thesis eventually
evolved, where she showed the undecidability of the theory of rational numbers.</span></div>
