	I think all groups, male or female, have a tendency to cliquishness, sadly.

	I asked this on my Knitting Jam thread but thought I'd give the subject a thread of it's own. I'd asked if anyone was a member of the WI and from the few responses it seems it is not a welcoming institution. So, why are a lot of women unfriendly and unwilling to welcome new members to their group? Could it be because they have invested too much time to the family and home and forgotten how to communicate as people in their own right. Has organising husbands and children turned them into bossy matrons? I joined a few craft groups in the past and after three or four visits left almost in tears due to the cliqueiness and, frankly, snottiness! Any thoughts?
