Final clubs need to make far more radical changes to bring themselves in line with an open, egalitarian society than letting in a few of their members’ girlfriends join. From the viewpoint of social exclusivity, admitting women will make little difference. We urge all students, not just women, to boycott...

But the bombs sometimes go astray, and also leave dangerous unexploded bomblets that kill civilians days or years later. Diana spent the last years of her life campaigning to ban land mines for the same reason...
