Sandra Day O' Connor, she is a golfer and would make a fine member.

THUD

The NY Slimes is carrying the water for the feminists again.

[Mr. Mojo]

members are not permitted to discuss club affairs or policies in public. It is a condition of joining the club, and those who violate the policy risk expulsion. But a dozen Augusta National members and national golf officials with knowledge of the inner workings of the club agreed to speak about the dispute over club membership, although only on the condition that they not be identified.

Statements of fictional members created by feminazis and reported as fact by the NY Slimes?

[Mr. Mojo]

Also, "a dozen Augusta National members and national golf officials" could very well mean "one member and 11 golf officials (who are in no way affiliated with the club).

"If we are being told they are working from within," she said, "then are they prepared to resign if they are not successful?"

This woman is drunk with power. Why in the world should any private company leader resign his position over something like this? Oh, I guess she means resign from the club? Hey, that doesn't make any sense either. I guess in her mind it doesn't have to make sense. She just wants compliance with her demands. Beyond belief.

Give em one woman member and tell the NAG gals to shut up!

[kaycee]

Well-l-l, let one or two women in and you can forget Augusta
and the Masters as it used to be. Don't understand why women think they have to ruin men's territory all the time.
But, then, I'm a tad old-fashioned. I am a woman, and don't think I have to be EMPOWERED,(beginning to hate that word), in every way, in every part of life.

Tell you what. Become a member and then you can make suggestions that matter.

[Mr. Mojo]

She just wants compliance with her demands.

That's all this is about. The only thing the ornery b/tches in NOW care about is exhibiting their penis envy. The fact that a private club can exercise freedom of association (the first amendment) is completely irrelevant to them. I sure hope the conciliatory quotes in the above story didn't come actual members. Caving in to these feminazis' demands just encourages them.

They should admit Anna Nichol Smith....Would'nt NOW luv that!

10-4 on no caving in. The members weren't quoted. Just leftist lies.

Anyone who doesn't agree with the club as it is no doubt has the option of resigning if HE wishes. I'm not reading about any resignations.

"Don't understand why women think they have to ruin men's territory all the time."

Hey,I like you already! Allowing us men to have "boy's clubs" is the same as men allowing women to have women's night,women's clubs,etc. Thanks!

[2rightsleftcoast]

Couldn't agree more.

[Snow Bunny]

Hi thank you for the ping to this.Good to see you.

[glasseye]

This whole affair is simply attacking men, its fasionable.

Why can't women build they're own private golf club and exclude men? Simple, because it would FAIL.

There are many great female golfers who could kick my butt all around the course, but this will not change the fact that GOLF IS A MENS GAME. Go to any course and you will see men out numbering women 20/1?, 30/1?

But guys are at least nice enough to 'give' the girls those funny little affirmative action 'pink tees'...lol(and you notice these 'pink tees' are ALWAYS virtully unused)

[July 4th]

Well, that's it. If they compromise, I'm giving up my membership! :)

[MonroeDNA]

Any man who is a member, and caves to this Permanently PMS'ing woman, is not a man.

Real MEN don't care what this screetching woman says.
