i never said there was anything wrong with them denying membership to women. many facilities and institutions are still all-male/all-female and rightfully so as they protect the interests of its members (although a golf course/country club would not fall under this qualification). and yes, they are a private club and can do as they see fit. however, just because they have the legal right doesn't mean it's a moral one. i'm just speaking the mind of the folks that are affected by their policies. being a white male such as yourself, it's not as sensitive a matter to you as it is to others. but maybe if you were on the other side of the fence (pun intended) you might understand where we are coming from. i'm not saying they should change their policies, just wishful thinking on my part
