1. It infuriates you

that a private organisation can make decisions on who it will allow to join?

3. Yes...I believe that's what I said. If the CEO was a male, there would be no discussion..n/t

4. very true, since the previous ceo was admitted.

5. that private organization is allowed to make its rules, and WE are allowed to think, and say,

that those rules are sexist, and total bs. works both ways, in case you didn't realize.

2. A great example of how equal rights are subverted and the power of the old boy network is kept.

When I was in college the local country club had always extended a membership to the college president, until the college selected a Jew. It took them the better part of a year to realize that their cloistered little world wasn't coming to an end by admitting him. I doubt that they would have struggled any less if the president were a woman.

Augusta National having no women members in 2012 is nothing to brag about and allowing spouses and other women to participate in some parts of the club really isn't the same thing.

It infuriates me too.
