Get Off Your High (cotton) Horse!!

After 80 years, Augusta National Golf Club has opened its doors to allow female members. This comes after years of pressure from feminist groups demanding women be given the opportunity to join the all male golf club that hosts the Masters each year.

I golf and would enjoy the perks of club membership, so I can see both sides... Why not equal treatment across the board for membership privileges? Why shouldn’t everyone have the right to tee off on the same green regardless of sex? Why wouldn't you want your organization to be ridiculed for being bigots and prejudiced against "minorities"?

 However, what I don't understand are the groups that deliberately "pressure" these private organizations into conforming to a PC standard set by "social expectations" of sex, race, and religion etc- just to prove a point or make an example out of them. What victory is there really for these GI Janes of golf? They get to play on a green and eat at a club among members that may not really want them there? That's no fun :(

 Who smells a harassment lawsuit brewing?? Men are accustomed to being in an environment where ... well...frankly they can be men.  I can see it now... In walks Jane, pounding her feminist chest in victory, only to turn around and play cry baby victim - once again - because Bob farted on hole 2 and Jim high-fived him for it.  (Clearly a hypothetical situation).

 You can’t have it both ways people. You want to join a private club then understand you are joining by rules that have been set forth by decades of tradition.

What's that you say? Traditions are made to be broken? Hmmm... So, what

you're really saying is, it's okay to persecute another group for their  beliefs and traditions, bully them into assimilating into your groups' rules and standards - all of which is okay just so long as it benefits your motives  and cause? That scenario sounds so familiar...where have I heard that before?? I can't think of it right now, but I'm sure it will come to me.

Yes.  I do have a vagina - and a uterus. Just because I have these parts, does not make me part of team Feminista.  I don't pander to people that cry victim or complain about stupid shit when there are REAL injustices being done across this globe.  Let’s put aside the petty argument over a GOLF

 MEMBERSHIP.

I’m tired of  people whining and crying for equal rights; using red tape and loops holes to tie the hands and subdue "dominant" groups, make martyrs out of themselves, and create an uproar over the most trivial shit - only to demand special treatment after winning their "equal rights".

I'm tired of the hypocrites that openly admit and embrace - in fact, downright gloat in their hypocrisy.

I saw a comment on a thread recently by such a hypocrite.. she stated (and I'm paraphrasing of course), 'I don't feel sorry for the dominant male groups. Until there are equal rights for women, then we can have our own private clubs that men can't join.'

That sent me over the edge. REALLY??? Are you serious - and you posted that publicly for us all to read??  Congrats sweet heart.. you just performed the adult equivalent to "Naaa-Naaah -Na Booo-Booo, Stick your head in Dooo-Doo!"

My suggestion is to keep your mouth shut. It's a whole new generation of whiny people that could never fathom what their grandparents had to endure to gain the rights you now abuse!!!! We are lucky to live in a country where - though it's not perfect - has come a looong way!!! So take your soapbox and set it up in the Middle East, where in some villages women as young as 16 are bludgeoned or stoned to death for loving another that does not share her village's religious beliefs.
