It's actually illegal to form "Men's Clubs" in the US now. This is one of the decisions that enforces it: https://www.nytimes.com/1987/05/05/us/high-court-rules-that-rotary-clubs-must-admit-women.html
The only way around that is a non-advertised, BYOB/PotLuck style event on private property. As long as money or sevices aren't being traded, it's cool to have a "Guy's night in" kinda thing, but an openly exclusive club is illegal. Unless it's a women's only gym or fitness studio, etc. Then the law doesn't apply.
Interesting. I wonder if there's a way for people to start clubs in their location off the grid. I'll ponder it and see if I can come up with something. We definitely don't want to end up on lists.
It would be cool if they were loosely associated, but without any top-down control that could be easily corrupted.

Just a group of frens... a large group... getting together casually...
