I think if that's the case then maybe go to a country where sexism is part of that culture.

I mean yeah i like a sexist joke or two but excluding a sex from a sport is properly sexist.
I can't honestly see any reason why women should be banned from a golf club.Only sexist reasons.What could the reasons be?

Women are a distraction for the men taking a shot?
Women don't suit the clothing required?
Mens golf clubs are for the serious players(men).Women can make their own girly clubs while the real players have the proper(mens) clubs?
Women might start getting above their station and try getting involved in serious discussions like politics and sport?

I don't know.I can't see a reason why women are'nt allowed.

I'm not "angry" about any of it.I agree i dont think anyone should be banned from anything based on sex,Apart from changing rooms and public toilets.

And proffessional sports should be segregated due to men having an advantage.

Tradition I guess, the vote was defeated by 14 votes so not all were in favour of keeping it as it is, vote again in 5 years I expect the rules will change, I don't really see the issue here it's not like women can't play golf or become members elsewhere, storm in a teacup, there really are bigger issues in the world

because the men there want it to be men only and as its not illegal and its been balloted its the decision they have made

Crimson Dynamo 20-05-2016 07:28 AM

tbh i cant imagine any women golfers in that area being that fussed, there are plenty of courses around

Yeah was just about to say this really ^

Ross. 20-05-2016 11:03 AM

I say it's about time we hold a vote to become a men-only forum

Livia 20-05-2016 11:06 AM

Those old boys just don't trust anything that bleeds for a week and doesn't die.

Kizzy 20-05-2016 11:11 AM

Wives can play, so it's just 'outsiders' they don't like.

its a club, and there are rules for joining the club. Its their loss at the end of the day, not just from being excluded from the Open. Their golf club loses its prestige status, which for many of the members will be the reason they joined ... Its tied to the snobbery thing .... I'm a member at Muirfield boy ... how big is your willie. .... Once that status is lost, the club will just die out.

Did you here Peter Alliss and his comment that the wives were against it? :laugh:

the truth 20-05-2016 12:54 PM

Why so many women only clubs? So many man hating bigots

Northern Monkey 20-05-2016 12:57 PM

The way i see it is,If women were allowed to join too,If the blokes want to play together with their mates then what's stopping them?Or the women want to play with their girlfriends.Or if one day they want to go as a family they could.

Excluding women from anything these days just gives the feminists ammunition.This country is more equal than it has ever been and in many areas now it favours women more.If men want our inequalities to be taken seriously then rules to exclude women in any parts of society except where men are obviously more suited or vice versa need to be stamped out.If we are to have true equality.

Crimson Dynamo 20-05-2016 01:00 PM

Exactly where are all the women airline captains or women playing in the Barclays Prem?

None.

Will there be any women playing in the Scottish and English Cup finals tomorra? no

Shocking
