Random Irritations

Double standards of feminism... went for lunch yesterday with my dad at his club. We got talking to a some of the lady members who were chatting about how women and men are equal in all aspects of life and that there should never be different treatment for any one including physically..

Now my dad is a very old fashioned man's man, and said to them well that's fair enough maybe we should ask the committee to scrap men's and ladies tees and all play from the same place on the course!! The horror on their faces and they went to shout him down about how that's unfair on women, they should have their ladies only Tees because they're not as strong as the men and ladies only days they still have at his club...

His reply as he walked off "didn't you just say should all be equal physically and what if we had men's only day we'd be call sexist"

Now whilst I don't condone my dad's actions (maybe a little bit :ROFLMAO:) and I agree in all things equal, I can't stand double standards!

So was I, this was another thing mentioned yesterday the group in question didn't like it because they didn't want to be treated the same... Double standards.. my only thing that annoys me with feminism.

well ok, just the tee booking this time;)
they currently have ladies blocked times on Tuesday and Thursday for and hour and a half 8.30 till 10. insist in playing in 2 balls to use more times. They also get the same in the afternoon on Tues and Thurs in summer. lucky if any play in those times. they can play on a Saturday, but again insist on 2 balls all the men's comps are 3 balls. they have also started block booking things on a saturday mornings and in the last 3 months have block booked 2 a 3 hour slots between 9 and 12 during mens comps so lots of guys could,'t play in the medals on those days, ladies have there own booking log on in advance as far in advance as they like, men don't have this and can only book 3 weeks in advance. so all AM times gone before you can actually book.

The roll up I'm in play in meet on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and play 4 balls from 9am maybe 4 times. the group take it in turns to book when the times go live 3 weeks in advance. Ladies decided they were going to play a winter knock out and block booked and hour and a half from 9am from mid Oct though till March, again they only play is 2 balls, so ladies would have every morning for 6 months during the week.. half an hour is for a buffer so no one plays behind them..

mens booking are done by the club, the ladies are a subsection so have there own log in.


starter has been asked to keep a log of how many women go out in the blocked times on Tues/Thurs. last week it was 2 for and hour and a half tee time. They had also booked a 2 hour slot a few weeks ago on a Sat morning during the last medal. it was wind so none of them went out so 2 hours wasted on a sat morning. I imagine there have been a few interesting Committee meetings recently

That's the bit I don't get how can they block out a 2hr slot in the middle of a medal... surely if you guys did that in their Tuesday or Thursday there'd be an uproar
 
Forget this equality at golf clubs there's more serious issues to deal with
Why are raspberry magnums smaller than regular magnums!!

thats just it you couldn't , there have even in instances where guys have gone out in the evening slots in the summer when there was not a single lady turned up, so the entire slot was not used yet they still kicked off a couple of guys used one of the slots.

Oh the double standards, not booked the slots and then complain someone made valid use of it.. much better to have slots used the wasted imo.

Surely that whole set up need addressing ...
