Already, she said, dozens of women's groups had volunteered to go to the Masters and demonstrate. One group said they would don burkas, the full-body shawls worn by women in Afghanistan.

So, they are equating women not getting to play golf with women who were forced to wear burkas and lived in an environment in which they could be beaten to death for the slightest infraction.

I hate the left.

FWIW, women are allowed to play golf at Augusta National. They just aren't allowed to be members.

It's truly a stupid, stupid "cause" whose only reason for being is to gin up publicity and garner donations for radical causes that no one would give a sh*t about otherwise.
