Mens Shed is their Australia wide legal name, they are everywhere, I've
helped out a couple local ones myself when they needed some telco work
done, so your argument on what they call themselves is pointless, they
also aren't just a bunch of old blokes, there's teenagers as young as 16
involved.

So you objected a few years back when LA gave to the womens only thingy?
Dont recall your name saying as much. 

All forms of gender/sex discrimination is wrong, but when you do, you
cant play favorites, all sides are to be treated and considered without
the "gender only" consideration - unless you want to appear  before the
federal court to explain your actions if a rejection is challenged :)
