The purpose of the club was to protect young women and girls who received unwelcome attention from men in automobiles and on street corners.

Brown, the secretary of the nascent Anti-Flirt club, warned that these men "don't all tender their invitations to save the girls a walk," and while there were "other varieties of flirts," motorists were the absolute worst.
