On the Edge of Excess
Cashing in on trauma. Too hard on Hanania? More on Latin, Oregon, and Mahony. Plus much else.
(Page 8 of 8)
If Augusta National was some local enclave where the business and political bigwigs of the town hashed out their business, excluded businesswomen might be right to think they were at a permanent disadvantage because their competitors, customers, and suppliers engaged in the flow of commerce without them. Maybe they’d be cry-babies or sore losers or couldn’t prove anything, but if they were right, shouldn’t they complain somehow? As a proponent of fair and open markets, I’d like to see competition.
That said, membership at Augusta National does not fit that situation. It doesn’t add up that the Carly Fiorinas and Martha Stewarts aren’t getting a fair shake in business because they aren’t members. The club is closed a fair portion of the year, the members rarely show up, and it’s bad form to talk about business.
As far as the Morris Women’s Club is concerned, I think you’re safe. Men rarely push to get into women-only enclaves; it is more often our behavior than our gender that gets in trouble in those places.
