Country club’s are really a subset of this kind of thing and tend to have an overly wide membership to the point where you’re unlikely to know every member. The VFW is another modern take that’s got a very different vibe.

Similarly historically it wasn’t just elitist hangouts. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Working_men's_club

Notably, VFWs are struggling because the Vietnam vets are not very welcoming to the War on Terror vets.

No women to blame there. What is the cause of the male loneliness epidemic then?

Is it resentment between draftees and volunteers?

The fact that anybody would blame women for the supposed male loneliness epidemic is just wild to me.
