Men have demanded, and received privileges that used to be the exclusive preserve of women...such as paternity leave.
However, regarding men's clubs - it's not true that they have been forced to allow women member under the Equal Opportunities Act:

Very old link, but I couldn't find anything to support the argument that they ARE forced to accept women.
What women *have* highlighted is that in the old patrician world of business, being a member of a men's only club was an advantage in 'networking'.
The fact that men's clubs are not as prevalent as they once were could have something to do with the fact that younger men actually enjoy the company of women and wouldn't *want* to be in an environment where women were excluded.
Apart from strip clubs...apparently.
