Nothing pi$$es me off more than to have an established PRIVATE organization be forced to comply with politically correct orders from the government. Augusta should just ignore any order and remain status-quo. What are the courts going to do, send in the National Guard to take over the club?
I'm a member of the local Elks club. It has been traditionally men, but recently a local woman forced her way into the club to prove a point. I am not misogynistic at all. I have a wife and 3 daughters...I better not be. But some things are just best well enough alone. Since the "lady" forced her way into the club, membership has declined. Smoking has been banned from inside the club. The club has been near bancruptcy since we have been sponsoring a bunch of special interest groups we have never historically supported.
There are plenty of places for women to join and have to themselves or to join which have historically accepted women. I can't stand it when someone views it as a challenge to disrupt an organization "just because". Sorry, but everyone needs their space and place and a good place to be with others. I wouldn't dare walk in to a women's club meeting and push my way in the door.
As for racial bias. That is another thing completely. There is no place, anywhere, anyhow, for race to be a disqualifying factor. Apples and oranges. Gender separation is a reality. We are two totally different creatures, physiologically and genetically. Sorry, we look similar and can breed, but we behave and think differently. Therefore our need to belong to a peer group that is gender specific has always been a part of human history. Ladies...just let us have our little "No Girlz" clubs and you can have yours.
