Coalition of "girls-only" organizations says its "about time" that Augusta National Golf Club admitted women.

So its completely ok that there are enough women-only organizations for there to be a whole coalition of them, but a single mens-only golf club (that only has 300 members anyway) is disgustingly oppressive and discriminatory?

"Women have won the gender wars, with support from white knights and male feminists. That's why the hypocrisy of female-only clubs is irrelevant. I can't even blame them, men compete against each other to please women, while women cooperate to protect their interests together. It's our own fault."

Well-put and well written. Post up if it was you because you deserve an upvote.

Let's take over a "Curves" for a day.

The irony. It burns.

Man, I can't remember the last time I read something that reached this level of irony.

fwiw, that's a terrible article with that spark bullshit tossed in for giggles.

This is spark (found by googling for Dana Edell, mentioned in the article).

SPARK change. Join the movement. SPARK is a girl-fueled activist movement to demand an end to the sexualization of women and girls in media. We're collaborating with hundreds of girls 13-22 and more than 60 national organizations to reject the commodified, sexualized images of girls in media and support the development of girls' healthy sexuality and self-esteem.

Nowhere that I can see on their website do they say they are some nationwide coalition of girls only organizations.

They do say that their sparkteam, whatever that is, will be girls and women only, and go onto explain the roles that boys and men have.

Ironic? Yes.
It's still a pretty cool story.
Maybe once all the boys' clubs are gone, we can integrate the womens' organizations.
