PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

I heard about that on the radio this morning (didn't know that existed here in my city!).It says: Can men play at Ladies’? Absolutely. We welcome men as guests or to play regularly as Guest Card Holders. Did Augusta National allow women to play as guests? There certainly are many gender-specific clubs of different sorts, and despite the desire many of us have for greater equality there are logical reasons for some (such as women-only health clubs, where women want to exercise without feeling ogled). So why was Augusta National targeted?

Because only women are allowed to discriminate (both against men and against other women), as evidenced above and quite a few of the times you wind up dealing with the gender. Would you like some percentages? Augusta National was targeted because it is a target. A big, stuffy, unyielding target with a morality stuck about twenty years before its founder's birth. Attack them and you get the publicity, the media coverage, the interviews, and the near-guarantee that someone in the club will say something incredibly stupid. They were picked because they were the ones which would ensure the nation got to hear the story. There are times when it's more about shock and awe than actual body count. And if they could be forced to bring in female members, then it turns into 'Well, if the stuffiest golf club in the country can change, why won't X follow suit?' Everyone uses the media. Everyone.

And yet The Royal St. Georges course does not allow female members. No one seems to point that out.
