Melbourne’s men-only Savage Club is facing an internal rebellion against its decision to allow women in for meals, with some members warning of uneasy wives and “Karens”.
A group of members has called an extraordinary general meeting for Thursday, writing in an email that “the loud and boisterous bohemian behaviour that the club is famous for will now have to be tempered for fear of upsetting a ‘Karen’ at the other end of the dining room” if women are allowed to lunch.
