First women admitted to Augusta National Golf Club as full members

Story here. Ahh, Martha! Enjoy the champagne! Now I am just wondering when the Ladies Golf Club of Toronto will allow men to join. After all, fair is fair. Or is it? Excerpt:

'NEW YORK (AP) -- The home of the Masters now has green jackets for women.

In a historic change at one of the world's most exclusive golf clubs, Augusta National invited former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and South Carolina financier Darla Moore to become the first female members since the club was founded in 1932.

"This is a joyous occasion," chairman Billy Payne said Monday.'

But really, I am no fan of gender separatism. I am glad this has happened. What I don't like is the kind of bigotry people like Martha Burk spout off. They are fine with women-only spaces but can't stand to see men-only spaces. This they see as evidence of evil sexism and oppression of women. Yet they can't see women-only hotel floors, "ladies nights" and other such things for what they are.
