That’s the point -— women will no longer have privacy in any sports/exeercise club/dorm room, etc.

Let’s see what the women say when these laws are up for public comment.

Women are up for having guys in the dressing rooms? That’s what will happen.

I find the use of the word manefesto quite interesting.

It brings certain ideological references directly to the table, doesn't it?

Just more feminism, and more anti-men bias by those who are feminist activist, IMHO.

Agreed.

The Battle of Augusta was worth it to demonstrate to all and sundry how laughably little popular support the feminists actually commanded.

And also how shrill, mean and completely unreasonable they are.

I would also point to the hilariously pathetic “Millions for Reparations” rally on the National Mall of Sept ‘03 as an example of an issue/cause coming out into the open and showing it was all media-generated foofaraw.

It usually requires a massive, public humiliation for the Left to learn that it's ways are in error, but that usually doesn't stop them or cause them to rethink the validity of their agenda....it usually just creates another round of caterwauling of how they are "oppressed by the Evil White Males".

One can usually write a script for these various Cause Celebes in advance and watch it play out pretty much as you had expected.

They would also hit some golf clubs where women are subjected to restrictions over when they can play.

Everybody know what GOLF stands for.

Guys Only Ladies Forbidden

It's one of the only places on earth men
can get away from women and have some peace of mind.

Country Club of the future.

Hmmmmmmmm....Now I just need 18 of these.

It was especially instructive the unlimbering of the ugliest anti-southern bigotry by Martha Burk and her fellow-travellers during that episode.

I remember that....they were breathtakingly shrill, unpleasant and unintelligent.

Rather like the dusting off of racist, ethnic bigotry unleashed by the Left against the Miami Cubans during the Elian Affair of ‘99.

That was also awful, and a stark reminder that we have a very active Fifth Column operating here in the USA.

Did I enjoy it? LOL!!!

Only bad part was when the ‘Deans” would start yelling at me, I’d step into the mens room. They’d follow me right in yellin’ about this and that and whatever, so I’d just do what a guy usually does in the mens room and the yelling usually stopped before the ‘shake”. :-)

Also, being the “guy”, i was the appointed male chauvinists in every class. I played it up big time too, cause I was! :-)

Men and women are different, and all of this heavy-handed Government legislation will never change that...it will only make people even more unhappy than before.

I don't suppose that any of these 'women' (I'm intentionally not using the complimentary descriptor 'ladies' here) ever thought of starting their own clubs if they didn't like the way that these other clubs are run?  No, that would have deprived them of the joy of destroying the existing clubs and making more men even more unhappy.

Such vile, hateful vipers they are.

Country Club of the future.

LMAO!

It has almost come to that, hasn't it?  And such a vessel would need to be continually at sea and beyond the national boundaries of any country that regulates private clubs.

It seems that the only joy in life that some people are able to achieve is when they are able to make others unhappy.

I’m OK with that. People wanted “equal rights” — so give it to them!

Seems they only want to be equal 'to a point'; seems a lot of women think that women shouldn't be in foxholes .

Amazing how different the UK is from its Sister countries isn’t It. Down under Hotels can ban heterosexuals but in the UK every one has to be equal.

So are the female-only clubs going to have to admit men now? I’m not saying there are going to be lines of men out there, but that’s what it sounds like to me.

Yes, that's exactly it... they don't really know what it is they are asking for, and the ones who do should know it's absurd.

Equality and equivalence are not the same. Whether it's gay/women's/ or any other "rights", they want the world to believe that any two things are perfect synonyms for each other.

Although Australia has it's share of certain troubles, it seems that the cancer of Socialism has not metastasized so very badly there...yet.

Under this proposed law, it seems that they would have no grounds to refuse men, transsexuals, or anyone at all on sexual grounds.

They may possibly realize that they have bitten off quite a bit more than they care to chew when the cross-dressers start lining up at the registration desk (and demanding to use the same restrooms as the women).

Well, while I agree with you that they probably don’t realize what equality will mean to their clubs, I am sure that (like liberals here) they will re-write things so that women will become a protected class to which these equality laws won’t apply because they’l feel unsafe, can’t do whatever with men around, blah, blah, blah...

You know the drill.
