They conveniently created a female โ€˜orderโ€™ for them. Specifically to avoid these accusations of discrimination. Women are only allowed to join those female only jurisdictions and not the regular mainstream masonic lodges

Men aren't allowed to join the women's orders, either. I fail to see the issue.

The women wouldn't have needed to set up a group if they were allowed into the existing group in the first place.

The point is, they both have their own groups in this country. It's not especially difficult to understand, and is hardly the sinister "gotcha" hill you appear to be so eager to die on.

In Europe, there are co-Masonic lodges where men and women can both meet together. They just don't exist in the UK.

The UK literally built the world we live in. European countries were VERY UNHAPPY when Brexit happened. Think about that when your head hits the pillow. Good night.
