Fight for Your Right to Birdie

Okay, I am totally down with the recent Cal Supremes ruling that domestic partners are entitled to the same discounts afforded to married couples, but since when is golfing a "human right"? Sooth the plaintiff in the recent suit that permits her partner to golf for free just like a married spouse at their country club: "We aren't activists, we aren't politically charged. We just wanted to play golf together and we just really felt we had every human right to do that."

ARGH!! Along with the whole Masters battle about women playing at Augusta (Michelle Wei will walk in next year, which is so third - or is it fourth? - wave feminist), this idea that our human rights battles occur on the golf course makes me sick. I recognize that this is not the most cutting commentary ever, but could we get a friggin' injustice up in here, please?
