Today I received, once again, an invitation to women's writing group event. I think this is the third time I have received such an invitation, and this one promised to become my "favorite girl's night out!". I assume the sender got my email address from the Midtown Writer's Group Meet Up sight, but based on my profile photo, there should be little doubt that I am actually... male. Rather unambiguously male, as a matter of fact.
I am of half a mind to show up at this event - I like the restaurant it's being held at. I would walk in and greet the people I know and introduce myself to those I don't, clutching my invitation to my chest. That would either force them to let me participate or send me packing.
If nothing else, that little stunt would most likely get me removed from her email distribution list, which I can't seem to accomplish any way else.

I have a similar situation, sort of. Several years ago, my wife told me someone in our neighborhood was starting a book club. I thought that sounded great and I wanted to know what the first book was. She held up her hand and told me this club was for ladies only. 13 years later, the neighborhood ladies book club is still going strong and I'm still holding a grudge.
