Women should be admitted to Augusta

I read a Facebook status yesterday asking why it was a big deal that no woman has ever been admitted to Augusta National. I then read an article by a guy asking the same question, both saying, "There are women's only clubs. Why can't guys have this?" They both pointed out these organizations known by all of 14 people whom are members, saying that Augusta's male-only membership was the same thing. A person then commented on my friend's post, saying that it doesn't make sense, just like African-Americans can have BET, yet if whites had such a channel, there would be an uproar.

"The 75% Minority" (a poem I wrote recently)

The 75% Minority We are the proud, We are the few, We are the strong, We are the discriminated, A constant uphill struggle we face, A constant battle for our rights, With politicians and the media against us, We lock arms ready to fight, We march together in unison, With our heads held high, Refusing to have our freedoms stripped, Refusing to go down without a fight, We finally halt to face our oppressors, Surprised by the lack of them, Before we look directly behind us, And see millions upon millions, Holding only 75% of the population, Without a month to celebrate our history, Having never been persecuted for our race or religion, Having never been enslaved in this country, Supporting freedom for all, Except those whom don’t agree with us, We are the minority, We are the 75%.
