Quilt Klub

A women’s version of fight club would be completely different from the men’s version. Firstly, women would call their organization “quilt club” or something like it (and of course it sounds good, with both words beginning with a “kuh” sound. They might even change the “c” to a “k” and spell it “klub,” just to make it look cute.). Also, this group would not meet in a basement of a bar, or somewhere on the street. You would find these women in a library, or perhaps the backroom of a craft store (probably Michaels or JoAnne Fabric).

For a woman, deviance would not be fighting or getting involved with any sort of violence. In this club, everyone would have to bring a dish of something to pass around, and they would most likely sit in a circle discussing why Sandra’s husband was SUCH a jerk on Wednesday, or what Lily’s 6-year-old son did on Saturday that was just TOO adorable. It would be a way for them to get out of the house on certain nights; to stop thinking about all the problems back home with their husbands and kids. They would also talk about money, and ways that women could be more powerful influential on the earth today, whether it be through different jobs, or taking control of their families, or perhaps even ruling the world one day.

This club would be more about women’s rights than about anything else. And while they would have to come up with excuses for why they had to leave the house every Friday night at precisely 8:15pm, women would find a way to meet privately and discuss all these compelling issues.
