But I think that is totally different from Augusta's stance on "no vaginas." If Augusta said that women are not allowed to play, that would be discriminatory. But that is not what Augusta says. They say that everyone playing must possess a penis. No vaginas are allowed. To me, that is not the same as saying "women are not allowed to play."

Your argument essentially says that Augusta WOULDN'T be discriminating if they just used the "must have penis to play" test, rather than saying "no women." They mean the same thing.
While naturally Augusta DOES say women can't play -- my response above is as ridiculous as the one you posted, Rupert. The end-game is the same whether you say "disabled people can't play" or "you have to be able-bodied enough to walk the entire course to play," they accomplish the same thing, one just sounds less nasty, when in practice, there is zero distinction between the two with the exception of how much of an ******* the person saying it sounds like.
