   @solitha— thank you! nature docs still show lower wolf pack members greeting the alphas with face licking.

   the desire to be fed and deference to the pack leader are not mutually exclusive. in fact, they go together perfectly.

   When is there going to be a national uproar about the existence of female-only gyms? Or is that ok? Interesting …

   That is a poor comparison for many reasons. Consider:

   - Augusta National is the top ranked golf course in the country. There is only one top ranked course.- Augusta National hosts one of four major championships. The Master’s is the only championship that takes place at the same course, Augusta, every year. There is only one Master’s.- Augusta National chairman Billy Payne refuses to even discuss the men-only membership policy.- Traditionally, the CEO of IBM, a major sponsor of the Master’s, has been invited to become a member. This year, the CEO of IBM is a woman.

   - There are many women’s only health club chains. The largest, Curves, has 10,000 locations worldwide.- In many states, Curves allows men to join.- Women and men are different, and their ideal fitness regimen is different. Customizing a health club to women’s fitness needs is not a matter of discrimination, but of providing a product for a certain market.- There are men’s only health clubs as well.

   In short, there are many, many fitness options for men and women all over the country. There is only one Augusta National. They discriminate against women, just like they discriminated against blacks for many decades until they finally allowed one to join in 1990. Of course, at the time, lots of race purists were pissed about that as well. Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose.

   12-yr-old rape victims get blamed by 911 operators for “dressing” to get raped when wearing knee-length hideous school uniforms; bystanders get accused of incitement in the press while recovering in the hospital from shotgun fire; and the fire marshal will accuse you of negligence after a fire if you own ONE candle. victim-blaming is a crutch for people who cannot bear to see themselves in the victims: “Nope! Couldn’t happen to me!”
