Quite clearly you are familiar at density.
Yes, I come across dense people quite often, hence my ability to recognize them when I encounter them.
You refer to Male Craft Orders (whatever the heck that is), ...
Good! An educational moment: They are those Freemasonic Orders that limit there membership to Males only. I belong to one that is recognized by UGLE. You might be familiar with it. It's the GL of Florida. What you might refer to as mainstream or State Masonry.
...but anything else is clandestine.
Only to those who do not recognize them.
... I have never heard of a Female Craft Order before reading this thread.
Good! Then you can no longer claim to not know about their existence into the future and hopefully you shall refer those who would benefit accordingly.
Freemasonry is a FRATERNAL organization.
Only the one that you and I belong to. There are others that exist that are not defined by your narrow definition.
The world doesn't have to be an all inclusive place where everyone holds hands and sings songs.
You're dismissing the issue. You're deviating from the path. Your tactic is not working.
There are dozens of women-only organizations men can't join.
Yes! And a few of them are FREEMASONIC. If you asked to join, they would direct you toward a Male Craft Order. They know how important the principle are, even to males.
As already noted, if a lady was interested in something Masonic, I'd refer her to the OES.
You are changing her wording. She was not interesting in "something masonic". You are perhaps incapable of hearing her. Fortunately, there are others who can.
Your assertion that groups that allow women are regular in their own right is ridiculous.
Only to you my Brother. I'm okay with it though. Your ridicule doesn't do anything but confirm specific things about your character.
Sorry, but they don't get to decide that.
Actually, they do decide that. Just not for us. Which is the way that regularity works. It is decided by the Order itself as they judge other orders.
It would be no different than if I declared myself a regular citizen of Albania, the Albanian government saying "No, you're not," and me saying "Yeah, I think I am because I want to be and say I am."
It's clear by your insufficient example that you truly do not know how it works. You are correct on one issue to which you allude in your example: Governments govern their own boundaries, and this applies to organizations. Regularity can only be judge in relation to the organization judging. Hence an outsider cannot judge another to be regular in any way shape or form other than I relation to themselves. It's strictly an internal measure.
If your group can't trace its lineage back to 1717, then you have arrogated your claim to Freemasonry.
But only as your organization judges regularity. Others have different measurements, untethered by you preconceived notions.
