Woman Protesting Augusta for Being Men's Only, Meanwhile I still Can't Join Curves Gym

There's probably a public course right down the street, no?
(CNN) -- The chairman of the club that hosts America's most prestigious golf tournament skirted the prickly issue of women's membership Wednesday, saying it is a private matter. During his annual media session, Billy Payne, chairman of Augusta National Golf Club, did not comment specifically on Ginni Rometty, the top executive at IBM and, undoubtedly, one of the corporate world's most powerful women. IBM's sponsorship of the Masters tournament guarantees club membership for its officers, but Rometty is a woman, and the club does not allow women to join.

UGHHH...this again, really? Look it's simple. You let me or any other normal guy, join Curves and Oprahs Book club, and we'll let you join August National, deal?

If it makes you feel better, I'm a dude, and there's no way in hell they're gonna let me join anytime soon. Does that mean they're discriminating against me and every other middle class citizen? Would you say Augusta is waging class warfare? Of course not. And they're not waging gender warfare either. It's a mens club, plain and simple. The fact that it happens to also be the pinnacle of golf is not the issue here, you're just picking a fight for the sake of picking a fight, and its completely bologna. You girls realize you could go build your own course and make it woman's only, right?

I know it sucks ladies, men built the ultimate golf course and decided to exclude you, like a grown man version of the Little Rascals "He-Man Woman haters Club." You feel left out, and worse yet, you realize that women could never build an equally impressive golf temple. I get it.  But lets cut all the crap about "discriminatory policies." It's no more discriminatory than any other woman's only thing, which are fairly common.
