9. Thinking about private clubs and organizations like women's colleges or the Junior League, that consist of people of the same gender, which comes closest to your own opinion:

PERSON 1: "Private clubs that have members only of the same gender are  simply a harmless way for similar individuals to get together and associate with each other."

PERSON 2: "Private clubs and organizations that offer membership only to people of the same gender are unfair, because they do not allow everyone the chance to become a member."

Support/Opposition for the issue

21. As you may or may not know, Augusta National Golf Club is a private golf club in Augusta, Georgia that does not receive any type of government funding, Each year, the Masters Tournament is held at Augusta National Golf Club. Currently, only men are members.

Martha Burk, the President of the National Council of Women's Organizations, wrote a letter to the Augusta National Golf Club, saying that the Masters Golf Tournament should not be held at a club that does not have women members.  She demanded that the Golf Club review its policy and change it immediately, in time for the tournament scheduled for April 2003.

Do you recall hearing a lot, some, only a little, or nothing about this?
