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.

Why are men banned from 100s of women's only organizations across the world? Isnt that sexist? Why arebt you angry about that? Why isnt this being reported?

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
