Teed Off

Hey, I have a mother, sisters, daughters, fag hags and even a militant lesbian ex-wife,( Hi Kal), so I guess that makes me as qualified as the next moderately liberal queer to speak out on feminist golfing issues. I golf and belong to a private country club too; one of those democratic clubs that lets anybody in, provided you can play the dues.

Even homosexuals

But Mz. Martha Burk, you just don�t get it. Sure the Augusta National Club, home of the Nation's best golf tournanment, the Masters, is a sexist, good-ol-boys snobatorium. They don�t admit women, but Martha, dear, it�s a PRIVATE club. Private clubs can do whatever the hell they want.

And don't you know it chapped their white asses to have Tiger Woods win 3 the Master 3 different times, but I digress.

Yes Martha, I agree it�s a silly rule, but when you say �It�s appalling that the women who are willing to lay down their lives for democratic ideals in Iraq should be shut out of this club. Democratic ideals do not include discrimination,� that�s insulting to our female warriors, not to mention stupid.

Martha Dear, Shoshaunna Johnson, Jessica Lynch and Lori Piestewa don�t give a rat�s ass about women not getting into some snooty golf club. Or at least I will assume Lori didn�t. She can�t speak for herself; She�s with the cloud people now. You want to get behind a cause, support renaming Squaw Peak in Arizona after Lori. Calling a Native American woman a �squaw� is like calling them a �whore�

And that�s not nice.

And Martha, you want to tackle feminist issues. I have a list of them: Breast cancer, affordable day care, enforcement and collection of child support, pay equity, sexual violence against women. How come your insurance company will pay for Viagra but not a woman�s birth control pills? And that�s only in this fair country. We won�t even mention the oppression of Muslin women or the murder of all those Chinese baby girls.

You�re an intelligent women Martha, but it�s all about choosing your battles.

BTW, the azaleas at the Masters were lovely
