Sorry boys, however fairly frankly, we’re sick of your sh—t. Now we have been uninterested in your cat calls and unsolicited grabs however have typically felt it’s merely simply a part of the evening scene — till now. TikTok has found each lady’s hero, Teddy Edwardes, who was impressed by her adverse experiences with males at nightclubs to really do one thing about it. She created a female-only membership, and it’s wildly profitable.
“6 years in the past, a person ruined my evening out for the final time…,” she started her reel. Then exhibiting footage of a packed nightclub, she wrote, “and I created a women-only nightclub. It’s now the most important within the nation with 2,000 girls an evening.”
Holy cow.

“Okay, however I’d really really feel so protected and free to only… exist and dance on this surroundings?!” one particular person wrote.
“Went to an solely girls membership as soon as; it was the primary time I didn’t have virtually to battle somebody to guard a drunk lady. Love them sm,” one other shared.
Her movies even caught the eye of Buzzfeed, who reached out to Teddy in hopes of studying extra about this insanely genius enterprise enterprise.
“I began LICK as a result of I simply had sufficient of going to straight golf equipment and each single time having some form of subject with males,” she advised Buzzfeed. “The ultimate straw that broke the camel’s again was: I walked into my pal’s album label launch in Shoreditch, and inside seconds, a person grabbed my ponytail and pulled me backwards throughout the membership all the best way to the bar as a result of he ‘needed to purchase me a drink.’”
Lick, which is meant for all girls, together with those that determine as girls or nonbinary within the LGBTQ+ neighborhood, is supposed to be a protected house. “Everyone seems to be sick of how males behave on nights out at this level, and the homosexual bars aren’t any higher both…most queer girls I do know have been questioned or denied entry to most homosexual bars in London. We’ve been advised earlier than that it’s as a result of we simply ‘don’t spend cash’ and ‘trigger bother’ — which leaves queer girls only a few choices for the place to go in London,” Edwardes shared.
When you’re questioning if Teddy has some recommendation for the boys, err, I imply males, she shared, “Males have to develop into higher allies by educating themselves and the opposite males round them by talking up when one thing isn’t proper. The one individuals that may change the difficulty with males are males.”
