US_lawmaker_takes_aim_at_Augusta_Na_04032007.html >
[small excerpt]
US representative Carolyn Maloney introduced the bill before the US
Congress with specific mention of Augusta National, host club for this
week's 71st Masters, the year's first major golf championship.
"Golf courses are set up to allow fair competition between men and
women. But at the Augusta National clubhouse, men have long had an
unfair advantage," Maloney said.
"Men who belong to clubs like Augusta National reap financial benefits
- either directly through tax deductions for business expenses or
indirectly through career opportunities and board appointments - that
women can't get just because they are women.
"The American taxpayer shouldn't be subsidizing discrimination. These
unfair writeoffs should be driven off the golf course and out of the
tax code."

Yeah, how I miss the days of solid legislation like changing the
name of french fries to "freedom fries".

There was no legislation involved here. Bob Ney was in the committee that
oversaw restaurant operations. A symbolic protest much like the Dems
non-binding war vote.

I wasn't aware that Augusta National is being subsidzed. I am
reminded of an incident a some years back when a man was allowed ti
matriculate in to an all-women's university. The women stood outside
balling their eyes out.
Women cannot have it both ways. There are enough organisations that
men do not have access to. I say, let them have their space and we
should be accorded ours.
