Agreed. However I think the all-of-life clause gives an open door to 
potential less than well intentioned new members joining up to extend a 
SJW agenda. So in fact the unintended consequence of this may be a 
*less* safe place for some existing members - unless all of their social 
media utterances are agreeable to the angry militant left.

+1, At least this means we can address the above if it emerges as a problem
