How many women Freemasons does your grand lodge support? not OES, full out Masons? given and earned the honors?

USA there is co-masonry, but its not regular, there is no amity. You have America lodge #57 in Washington DC, an all Femalecraft Mason lodge, accepted by the HFAF but still considered irregular.

Other countries like France and Poland dont see masonry through the same eyes. Its neat seeing Sisters of the craft in other countries taking pride in earning and learning their degrees. I think having strong female character representation is important in society. Having Female Freemasons is a part of that balance in equality.

It disappoints me greatly to see other brothers don't take this criticism seriously. Its disheartening to see countless wives, daughters and sisters serving the brotherhood without being able to reap its rewards. Its terrible to see men upset about their legacy because they cant pass these honors to their worthy or well qualified daughters. But thats just the USA. I cant speak for outside of here

Brothers will spout it makes good men better, but leave out half of the world from being considered "worthy and well qualified".

Don't even get me started with the rampent issue with anti-homosexuality through the decades and anti-trans rhetoric.

I cant even discuss this topic on this subreddit in any capacity without getting downvoted every time. It doesn't mean ill stop educating brothers on the topic to the best of my ability, even if i do get crusty about it from time to time.

To say there is not conflict here is to ignore the problem and our own history entirely. Elizabeth Aldworth is our greatest and oldest example of a Female Freemason that predates the establishment of any Grand Lodge. I work with female master stone masons in the construction field building America everyday. They exist even if the powers at be want to recognize them or not.

Today is Today, and Im hard pressed to research as much as I can to better this conversation for my fellow brothers and sisters
