i think boy's club exist everywhere and it kind of affects teetotalers as well, be it office boys club or even apartment management committees. If you are nt part of their gang u miss out on much. i myself have never been comfortable from young age to use slurr words as part of normal conversation and being a teetotaler didnt want to nanny a group of drunks. generally the slurr groups also speak down of women and tend to objectify them. If you are not comfortable in the lingo one tends to ignore such groups as u can preach one or two but not really a big gang unless you want to become part of their redicule. higher education and well paying jobs does not naturally make these boys mature as well. they might have mellowed down but at heart they remain the slurr spewing teenager with little regard for others. And their comradery is built on such get-togethers.
