Check out this New York Times story on the sexist asshats at the Phoenix Country Club. I like the part where the men were urinating on Wanda Diethelm’s pecan tree because she wanted to eat in their male-only dining room. She had to set up a security camera. Wanda, if you got any good shots of the guys’ teeny, tiny penises, please send them to me so I can post them. A microphallus is always good for a laugh.

hmpf, those stupid, old men. you’re probably right about the penises, though.
you’re doing jewelry with purple and green? that sounds so great, i just love these colors together.

Super-pathetic that we still tolerate Old Boys’ Clubs. Even more pathetic are the individuals who want to join them.
Jill says
So many sexist idiots in one place, how do they manage? If I was one of those women I’d beat the owners senseless.
WendyB says
ENC, while I can’t relate to anyone who’d want to join an organization like this, I must admit that places like this would never change if SOMEONE from outside their approved membership wasn’t willing to force change upon them.
Sharon Rose says
They need to come kicking and screaming into the new century!!!
Oh Lady E says
Oh, so this isn’t about sexist golfers or microphalluses (haha).

THEY HAVE ANNE BOLEYN UNDERWEAR! Well, they call them pants, but really, they’re underwear. It’s look 43 in the main collection. I thought it might amuse you! They also have Henry VII.
Oh Lady E says
Err I missed a ‘I’. It’s Henry VIII. Geez.
coco says
I actually get so angry about stuff like this. It is a rather funny story.
Miss Woo says
o_0 jeez, peeing on a pecan tree? how charming. They must feel the need to compensate for their micropenis.
Glamouricious says
Hahah! Or micropenii (my “scientific term”)
Lynette says
Nasty, dumb men! I have to say that your link to the definition of microphallus vividly nips in the bud any confusion one might have about the meaning of the term.
About my flower photos, it certainly helps when the flowers are right there in front of you, when there’s not a bright, bright sun, and when you have a camera with a sports setting so you can photograph in a breeze. I am thrilled that you’ve enjoyed them, WendyB.

This sort of thing has been banished in UK – just. My friend is communications director for 2010 Ryder Cup taking place in Wales. I’ve sent her article and offerd to be her bodyguard when she goes to Kentucky this year – it’s a cheap shot at a free ride.
Honestly golf guys can be morons but my husband isn’t like that nor are most in UK. All clubs allow women in – whenever I go I’m more worried about sexist behaviour fo the pervvy kind!
Luna says
wow. haha.
Moe Wanchuk says
Granted, the peeing on the tree thing is ridiculous and whoever got busted should have their n*ts hooked up to a car battery, but aren’t all of you getting a little too wound up in the shorts about this? Who cares if they want their own dining room as long as this club makes a Female Only dining room also. They just want to play cards, cuss and smoke cigars without getting yelled at. It’s completely harmless.
And not all of us have tiny peckers!!!!!
(but I do…sorry)
KiKi says
those idiots its the 2000’s not the 1800’s
pistols at dawn says
What kind of dudes want to be in a place where there are no ladies?
Mikkle says
bleh. it disgusts me how immature people can be at any age!
CDP says
I guess those old Republicans want a safe haven so they can go all Brokeback in privacy. Seriously, though, I hope the women members sue and win, and I hope that the lady whose tree has been violated catches the offenders and has them arrested.
Miss Janey says
The whole country club scene mystifies Miss J… Yeah, she gets it. Its a place for rich white folks to rub elbows with other rich white folks and hopefully make coonections, advance their careers, etc. But let’ face it- the whole scene is very elitist. Elitist assholes wanting to segregate themselves from those they see as “less” than themselves is shameful but nothing new. May the club gets its elitist doors sued off their hinges.
Savvy Gal says
hahahahahahaa…
altamiranyc says
Interesting issue there. It is a private club, but does state law trump private entity rights…wouldn’t that apply to co-op laws in NYC in a similar way?
vogued out!!! says
wow thanks for posting. i read the times daily, can;t believe i missed that
Isabel says
Reading about this Country Club should remind everyone that feminism is NOT a dead issue! There are still lengths to go and we have to be willing to fight against this sexist bullshit!
Fabulously Broke says
Uhhhhh agreed! Who wants to join that club anyway?
Micgar says
Ugh! I hate golf, and this story just further solidifies my hate for the game and its trappings!
