You can't correct discrimination with discrimination. There is a case here in Canada where a man is suing an "all womens gym" for discrimination. As "all men gyms" are discriminatory, shouldn't this also be a problem. What a fucked up planet we live in?

I'm not disagreeing with you BCWWF, I'm just pointing out some realities and logic problems we encounter when it comes to these types of situations.
So...Trying to bring this back on topic...

Okay. Several of the tournies REFUSE women in the PGA. Remember, these are people who wouldn't let a cripple play because he couldn't walk to the various holes.

To this end, I have no problem with a "Women only" organisation, since there's already a "men only" organisation. Why cna't you adress a serious issue, like how they don't let non-alcoholics into AA meetings? That's some serious discrimination there.

Would you have the same objections if they were the same organisation, and different divisions? It's still technically discrimination, but everyone seems okay with it.
