Women are not allowed. It’s anything but emancipated, but women aren’t allowed to join the Hells Angels. This doesn’t mean that the men have anything against women in general. Many are married or have girlfriends, but they will never become members of the club. However, the ladies are expected to stick to certain rules. Her partner will often demonstrate to her what she can and cannot do.
The inclusion of women in these rules underscores the evolving nature of the motorcycle club scene. While traditionally male-dominated, the presence of women within the Hells Angels is not a recent phenomenon. Female members, often referred to as “old ladies” within the club, play integral roles in the organization, offering support, companionship, and even leadership in some chapters. As such, they are subject to the same expectations and responsibilities as their male counterparts, reinforcing the notion of equality within the club’s ranks.
