I suppose that it could be construed to be, but I believe that no one is
taking it seriously.

I know that I, for one, would never consider such an initiation to be
moral or decent.  There are those among us, however, that would like to
see Freemasonry begin to accept women as members.

What I want to know is how the ritual would be preserved... I can see no
way of doing that.
