Following on from the ladies recent episode about ‘Boy jobs’ and ‘Girl jobs', today's episode highlights their original conversation with Carl from the Freemasons, on the role gender plays in Freemasonry. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Carl addresses some myths about the Freemasons such as whether it’s a satanic cult and if people get inducted with one trouser leg pulled up.
• Tracy talks about her all female property group, ‘Which Property’ and some of the negative feedback she received about being ‘sexist’. 
• Carl talks about why people join the Freemasons and how the joining up process has changed. 
• Carl clarifies the no women policy of the Freemasons and how it’s not actually what most people believe. 

BEST MOMENTS

“The satanic thing is a myth that originated from other groups that felt threatened by us.”

“There are so many aspects to the group that most people find that the reason they came for isn’t the reason they stay for.”

“The woman’s role in society has changed so much over the years, and we’re now on a equal footing and that’s great.”
