Muirfield to lose right to host Open after vote against allowing women members

Our thanks to H for this. He writes:

At last! Some men have strapped on a pair, and drawn a line in the sand. I didn’t expect the line to be drawn in a bunker on a prestigious golf course, but it’s a start!

The (BBC) article includes a comment from Nicola Sturgeon, who introduced a gender-balanced cabinet regardless of individuals’ merit, shortly after being appointed as First Minister. The daft trout tweeted:

Scotland has women leaders in every walk of life. It is 2016. This is indefensible.

  1. The hypocrisy associated with complaints about gender restricted associations and clubs is astounding. If any kind of men only club exists or is established, it is viewed with outrage, but if there are even any comments about women only clubs the criticism is about the complainer and the apparent misogyny of the complaint.

  2. Since when was “it’s the current year” a logical argument?

    Women are allowed their “safe spaces” like women-only gym classes and suchlike. It’s just churlish to oppose men having their own space. After all, it was only men who built the course and everything on it.
