This is just ridiculous ... I mean seriously, who can get upset if they have separate-but-equal facilities?

Oh ... wait ... nevermind

 
Bill Frist 2008-06-28 11:58:24 AM  
You do realize there are still lots of seperate facilities in life.... the civil rights fight was over PUBLIC facilities.

Quite a different matter than private country clubs.

Oh yeah? I was in a federal building once. And there they were: separate bathrooms for men and women. In this day and age. Outrageous!

Of course they're mad. Who's going to pay for their lunch in the women's grill?

And despite all the public debate over that precise issue, the Equal Rights Amendment didn't pass.

Private club. Either get it changed or deal with it.

Women's bathrooms are also almost always much nicer and more numorous in buildings. Pisses me off.

Join a different club you whiny biatches. Either that or I am going to demand to be allowed to attend the monthly ladies Bunko group.

Headline is misleading

ladies' grill: a hot plate, some card tables and no bar

men's grill: three high-definition televisions, a buffet and a bar, and gorgeous views of the course.


Nice try, Subby, but the crappy women's grill is not in any sense equivalent to the men's grill.

Why exactly is this a problem? who cares if there is a 'men's only' bar in a country club?

If you can't spell women then you probably don't get any.

Is wommen supposed to be a feminist revised spelling? Because I always thought that was womyn. Something to get man or men out of the spelling.

Because at the men's grill huge business deals are made while at the women's grill all the talk is about kids, ironing and yeast infections.

Women apparently.

Why are they complaining about a men's dining area when the kitchen is right freaking there?

Besides, it's a private facility, they can do whatever the fark they want. If the women are mad, they can man up and not go there.

Well, the women can't get free drinks at it, for one thing.

Either way, private club. State can't do shiat here, and I think thats a good thing.

Probably because that in a 20'x30' women's bathroom, there's only room for one stall after the couches, vanity area, baby-changing station, tampon dispensers, mirrors, sinks, and counter-space are added.

THIS

Sounds like they should take their 10s of thousands of dollars in annual dues and head elsewhere. If enough people do that, the policy will change.

Why can't men have a men only gym but women can have curves?

Oh ladies you know that private mens bath house downtown you have been trying to get into, its where the gay sex happens. Just some food for thought.

Here in 2008, you'd have to have the emotional and intellectual maturity of an eight year-old to want a gender-segregated social facility.

Further discrimination: women don't even have urinals in their bathrooms.

The women aren't pissed because they can't get access to the men's grill. They're mad because there is some place to go where the men can get away from them. The club should no longer call it the grill. They should hang a bathroom sign on it and call it the Men's Room. It will be just like home for a lot of men. The only place to get away from the wife/children is in the shiatter.

When they were "hectored" on the golf course, does that mean they were killed and their body drug around the course tied the be back of a golf cart?

Bull crap. Why can't guys have their own facilities if they want, and women have their own? If the women are incapable of organizing well enough to financially support superior facilities, then than is their own problem.

If women ARE in fact "just as smart and capable" as men, then they can prove it by creating a superior facility and not letting the men in.

Sometimes guys just want to be with the guys. Same with women. These "ladies" are just suffering from penis envy and should get over it.

Oh look, an eight year-old. Here, this'll make you feel better:

No, numbnuts, I am not - that's why I worded it "social facility."

I suspect the few troglodytes here endorsing men-only clubs would yet have something derisive to say about the few women-only colleges out there. FarkingSean, what do you think about Mills College's women-only campus?

Lolz, so you have to play semantic games to avoid your intellectual dishonesty?

Holy shiat! Now you are defending women's only colleges while claiming a men's grill is an abomination?

I guess you've given up any pretense of hidding your intellectual dishonesty.


(And as to your comment, while I'm sure some of these "troglodytes" [big word! You must be very smart...] might make some derisive jokes about women's colleges, would they claim that they are horrible and should be banned? Or that only 8-year olds could see any utility in women's schools?

Of course not. But said troglodytes aren't as dishonest as you are.)

Boy, Frist, you suck at this internets thingy. It's called "reading comprehension" - please re-read my post because you completely misunderstood the English language up there.

I hold the same contempt for women-only colleges as I do for men-only clubs. That makes me consistent, principled, etc. But I suspect the folks for the men clubs would have something negative to say about the women colleges, which if true would make them inconsistent. Of course, none of them will bite now, since I've had to explain the troll to you in words of fewer syllables.

Mr. Horse: FarkingSean, what do you think about Mills College's women-only campus?

I am ALL for a women-only campus. If there are women who would prefer to attend a women-only school, they should have the right to.

 
Bill Frist 2008-06-28 02:57:25 PM  
No, it is called writing skills, which you sorely lack.

But I'm glad you are consistent in your idiotic principles. Seriously. I value intellectual consistency, even if if i consistent idioicy. You are already several steps ahead of most farkers in that regard.

Stop being such a principled farking idiot.
If I want to buy a building and only let members of my own family, my own religion, my own gender, my own color or any other damn restriction on access to MY PRIVATE PROPERTY, it's no one's goddamn business.
If I want to create my own private space, owned in fee simple and not open to the general public under any circumstances, ain't nobody's business if I do.
Contempt? Get over your limp PC foolishness. What a farkin maroon.

 
Bill Frist 2008-06-28 02:58:42 PM  
Personally I have no problem with the scatted men's only grills, women only colleges, men only high schools, women only social groups and so on.

If these things get out of hand and suddenly every grill and every college and every social group is gender segregated it can be a problem.

But given that this is not hte case, I see no problem with them.
