Clubs and associations
My golf club allows men to have access to the greens on weekends, while women only have access midweek. I am happy to pay more for weekend access - however, this option is not available to women.
Different rules and benefits for male and female members used to be a common practice in clubs. Keeping such outdated practices puts the club at risk of a sex discrimination complaint being lodged and its being forced to change. For more information you can visit Play by the Rules, a website about discrimination in recreation and sport.
