All of the women need to end their memberships and stop going, and make it clear to management this is why. It might be illegal for management to do anything at this time, but if they lose ALL of their members, it will hurt them financially. THEN they will lobby their politicians. Do you want thriving businesses that pay taxes or should we just close up shop? THEN a totally private, by invite ONLY rival golf club needs to start up so the women have a place to go. That's a LOT of steps, I know, but we need to show how serious we are. Men in women's spaces is NOT ok.

But that's not how it works. No one will care if the women walk out; men would prefer them to. Women had to fight hard to gain access to these clubs, and you suggest just shoulder shrugging, and walk away? Any idea what it costs to build a golf course? A golf club isn't just a group of people, it means the facilities, greens, clubhouse, pro shop, etc., with all the supporting staff, you know.

I get that, but if the law says you can't kick the TiM out, which would make the most sense, then what is your legal option? If politicians are going to come up with these laws that make men "women," undoing these laws is all we can do. And that could take decades, if it happens at all. Maybe a millionaire should buy and donate a private golf course. I don't know. I feel trapped by this insanity.
