Female freemasons, ONLY! OR FEMALES ONLY!?

i know that girls can be "job's daughters" (i have friends who were), and wikipedia says this:

Women and Freemasonry

The position of women and Freemasonry is complex and without an easy explanation. Traditionally, only men can be made Freemasons in Regular Freemasonry. Many Grand Lodges do not admit women because they believe it would break the ancient Masonic Landmarks. However, there are many female orders associated with regular Freemasonry, such as the Order of the Eastern Star, the Order of the Amaranth, the White Shrine of Jerusalem, the Social Order of Beauceant and the Daughters of the Nile. In addition, there are many non-mainstream Masonic bodies that do admit both men and women or exclusively women.

They are no female Freemasons, but wives of Freemasons can be in the order of the Eastern Star I believe...

Actually I think in general, women are excluded from the Freemasons. They have separate chapters. I don't remember what the women's chapter is called but I think the daughters are called Job's Daughters.

I know they are not satanists, but I'm afraid I'm unable to answer your second question. Definitons are a bit loose in this regard.

females are no longer allowed interior the favored, mainstream, version of Freemasonry practiced with the help of the United Grand lodge of britain and the Grand inns it recognizes in North u . s . of america and international huge. there is the Order of the jap megastar interior the U.S. that's a corporation specially for females that meets in Masonic Temples and is considered an "appendant" physique of Freemasonry. maximum lady contributors of the OES have a relative it is a Mason. they do no longer take part in lodge conferences and are considered a separate enterprise. There are debts of lady contributors of pre-Grand lodge Freemasonry, exceedingly in eire and France. There are Masonic businesses no longer regarded with the help of the mainstream that have male and lady contributors. those are difficulty-loose in continental Europe and there are Co-Masonic businesses in England and North u . s . of america. Co-Masons are no longer authorized to attend conferences of mainstream inns and contributors of mainstream Freemasonry are expelled in the event that they attend any non-regarded Masonic lodge including one that incorporates lady Masons.

Men only, 21 years of age or older.

women can't be Masons only Eastern Stars because women throughout time has never done masonry work.

It is my understanding that you have to be a man to be a mason.
