What's sauce for the goose....

Everybody and his Dutch uncle lining up to criticise Muirfield - where the Open (golf) is being played - for being a men-only club.  But you don't hear anything about the many ladies-only golf clubs which exist around the country.  Why? Because there's no political capital to be made from commenting on men not being allowed to become members of ladies-only clubs, whereas expressing displeasure at women not being allowed to be members of men-only clubs pretty well guarantees good headlines.
