How does one explain the above discrimination by the 99s.

This has already been pointed out, but I guess you went to the bathroom or
something and missed it.

There's a difference between discrimination for the sake of discrimination
(e.g. BSA discriminating against gays) and discrimination inherent in the
organization (e.g. 99's). The 99's is *specifically* for the benefit of
women pilots, and as such it makes sense for them to exclude men. The BSA
is not *specifically* for the benefit of heterosexual men, and as such it
makes no sense for them to exclude homosexuals.
