What do you feminists think about August National Golf Club?
August National Golf Club is a higly prestigious private club with a very limited number of members…All of whom are men. In 2003, a feminist organization, with national support from feminists, launched a campaign to pressure the club into allowing female club members and the club refused, despite the enormous amount of financial pressure. Since the majority of feminists in YA seem to think that it is acceptable to provide preference for entrance to clubs to certain individuals based on their sex, what is your opinion of the Augusta incident? Are you consistent in your beliefs and do you believe that their sex-based qualifications are acceptable? Or do you believe that national feminist organizations erred in their efforts?

smoofus70: That’s very nice that you have generalized your personal opinion onto others, but if you click on any of the questions pertinent to ladies-night, you’ll find consistent excuses for permitting that brand of sexism. If, however, you believe that ladies-night is sexist, then you’re excused from hypocrisy regarding this question.
smoofus70: By my count, 75% supported the sexist practice. But I notice that you only include “regulars”, which allows you to filter out those that don’t meet your demands (i.e. bias).
smoofus70: Here is a complete list (of regulars) based on Mike T’s direct question (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ain4a7gcpVJnCxXd1pRfUxQYxgt.;_ylv=3?qid=20071217092946AAdU6xf):

Only Rio Madeira spoke out against it (she seems to be rather consistent in her thinking). Even though you say you opposed it in another question, in that question you dismissed it as unimportant, saying “Yes, it is sexist, but you should talk to the men who promote it. It’s not a feminist thing”. In other words, while you believe it’s sexist, you don’t believe it’s something that needs to be addressed by feminists who supposedly believe in “equality”. That’s actually 88% of regular feminists who are in support of sexist club admissions as long as they favor women.

I don’t think about it. I don’t like golf so I don’t follow the tournaments nor do I care about what goes in in the clubs.

I believe in gender-specific bathrooms and locker rooms, and possibly some discussion groups, depending on what the discussion is. That’s it. The golf club should let women in, and clubs should let women pay at all times.
