The Men and Women's Club was a debating society founded by Karl Pearson to discuss relations between the sexes, such as marriage, sexuality, friendship, and prostitution. It was composed of middle-class London radical thinkers. It was intellectually adventurous for its time. It treated heterosexuality as normative[1]. It met from 1885 to 1889, and the records of its meetings are now part of the Pearson collection at University College London.[2]
