I'm not sure what the big deal is. Burk isn't asking the government to force Augusta to accept women. She is organizing a media campaign, just like the Southern Baptists tried to do against Disneyland or like the gays tried to do against Dr. Laura. If enough people hear about the cause and believe in it, they will take action. Otherwise, like in the two examples I cited above, people will ignore it and the boycott will die - ususally accompanied by even more (positive) publicity for the offending institution. Burk has every right to attempt to target sponsors of the Masters, and if they are worried about losing their viewership, they have every right to do something about it. Or they can tell Burk to shove it. The market will sort this out just fine...

I understand what you are saying, but the "big deal" is that this is in no way about "righting a wrong" or about someone being denied a right. This is simply another attempt of radical womynists trying to "kick men in the nuts" and show them "whos boss". This is another attack upon freedom of association. There aren't any women out there trying to get in to Augusta - no women wanting to be the only, or one of a few, in an all male club. There is not somebody wanting to "be a part of something", they want to destroy what someone else has. Its that simple, and the butch feminists finally picked the wrong people to mess with. Its time this nonsense stops.
