Link to January 10 Chicago Tribune article, "Men's ban from underwear talk is, well, brief".
Excerpt: The Lake Villa District Library has agreed to allow men to attend a historical presentation on "Unmentionables: The Rise and Fall of Ladies Underwear," after hearing complaints that it was violating the Illinois Constitution by excluding guys from the public program.
A Tribune article Monday received a swift response after describing the "no men" rule set by program presenter Ellie Carlson, an expert on historical clothing. Carlson, a costume curator, said she usually bans men because it makes women "of a certain age" uncomfortable with the subject matter, which veers into talk about menstruation, sex and other bodily functions.
