I mean, it kind of does, only because the whole “you’re weak/coward” is the comparison to the female genitalia.

And like, dude, one of those pushed you out and then returned to its previously scheduled shape….so….which set of genitals actually are made to go through trauma and then thrive…?

Edit:

Though, given the general vulnerability of the male genitalia, maybe it is bravery to simply exist since they are external?

This is really what it comes down to.
Generally accepted: (by men)
Male anatomy: symbol of courage and strength.
Female anatomy: symbol of weakness and cowardliness.

I think if you really got into a discussion with a lot of men, we would agree that the women in our lives are some of the strongest humans we know.
And there are a lot of men that truly do view women as weak. Either way, is just become such a common phrase.

Ok that settles it then. We can change the Max Homa thread to ‘…letting his vagina show’ and see how wildly uncomfortable that makes people.

I think it’s fair to ask men to not to be misogynistic but if you’re asking us to not be dumb then you’ve gone too far.

I’ve seen a few courses where the forward tees are black or blue and the back tees are pink, red, purple… etc.

Then the old geezers who can’t hit it out of their shadows can say “I played the blue tees today.”

It’s a simple but often effective thing.

Another course nearby just numbers them, and honestly I have to think for awhile to realize whether the back tees are the #1 tees or the #5 tees. Other courses (like Tobacco Road or Caledonia G&FC) use symbols like “ripper” or “mallard” to signify the tees. I have no idea which duck is the “longer” set of tees, nor do most people.

Saturdays are for the ladies. Imagine the outrage of the barstool bros.

My wife has occasionally said, “That guy’s got a real set of ovaries” to counteract this.

I thought the recap pod with @soly, @djpie, @tron and @Randy discussed the Tiger joke with perfect nuance. Something not easy to do in this environment. Could not agree with Soly more on the reaction to the reaction (evidenced very much in reaction to Claire Rogers tweet about it - she was the one that asked, I think with great courage, in the post round interview). Pushback is NOT cancellation. Jesus.

We need not and should not cancel people for mistakes like this (not that anyone is), but pushback is healthy. People should be able to apologize, learn and move forward (though the apology was shit - does he not have people that teach him PR???)

This is how we keep moving forward as a society to be more inclusive, that appropriate pushback when people cross the line. Slowly but surely things get better.

Social change is most often glacially-paced. Tiger’s ‘joke’, on it’s own, had it only been known to him and JT, would have been a grain of sand on a beach of misogynistic microaggressions, a snowflake in an avalanche of what keeps women from true equality.

The fact that it gained so much attention made it an opportunity take a bucket of sand off the beach. A shovel of snow off the avalanche. His eventual non-apology of it, and the outpouring of ‘he shouldn’t have apologized anyway/it was just a joke/people are too sensitive’ from it did the opposite. We all need to do, and be, better.

Absolutely agree. It’s frustrating to watch people call something out in the right way and then get the fucking firehose from the other side. Not just with this issue but all kinds of things. This was a kind of shocking example, hard to believe some of those reply tweets were real.

Also, agree on them doing a good job on the pod of calling it like it is (tampon thing was a stupid joke) but I’m still waiting for them collectively to stop using / apologize for the “queef” bit. It feels very fake for them to call out the tampon joke and continue to essentially do the same thing themselves.

The upside here is that tampon availability on golf courses is going to skyrocket.

So many chodes out there will throw a few in their bag just to replicate this joke with their buddies.

Potentially a good thing.

But watch the barstool-esque fanboy still not understand why the type of tampon they have won’t work for every woman or that there were different types to begin with.

Honestly it feels like a no brainer for Tampax to have like a “have a tampon for you playing partner” type ad. Maybe partner with Lydia Ko or someone to replicate the handoff but as helping someone out.
