Another college bans men from the gym so ‘people of other genders feel safe’
College Fix ^ | MARCH 26, 2018 | GREG PIPER

Colleges keep designating spaces as off-limits to men, only to backtrack when someone files a formal complaint or their curious interpretation of inclusivity falls under the harsh glare of the less-woke public.

The latest is the Claremont Consortium’s Pitzer College, which apparently didn’t learn from Stanford’s short-lived no-men weight lifting hours.

The Residence Life office at Pitzer organized a “women and non-binary people’s gym day” at the Gold Student Center Friday, banning men during the high-traffic hours of 2 to 5 p.m.

The intent was to make “people of other genders feel safe to explore the gym, learn about the equipment, or just workout in a man-free space” according to the event listing. It doesn’t mention transgender students, presumably including men who identify as women under the banner of “women.”

The Claremont Independent reports that the organizers haven’t explained “why women and non-binary individuals have difficulty exercising with men, if there have been any incidents in the gym where men have made other genders feel uncomfortable, and where Pitzer males will work out during that closure.”

The paper said male students at Pitzer had to use a gym on its sibling Pomona campus, a 20-minute walk, if they wanted to work out between 2 and 5 on Friday:

There has been no indication whether the school or resident advisors plan to continue allotting hours for women and gender non-binary peoples.

Public spaces that exclude men (however defined) are legally problematic, as University of Michigan-Flint economist Mark Perry has written.

Genderqueer, also termed non-binary, is a catch-all category for gender identities that are not exclusively masculine or feminine;identities which are outside the gender binary and cisnormativity.[1] Genderqueer people may express a combination of masculinity and femininity, or neither, in their gender expression.

Genderqueer people may identify as either having an overlap of, or indefinite lines between, gender identity;[2] having two or more genders (being bigender, trigender, or pangender); having no gender (being agender, nongendered, genderless, genderfree or neutrois); moving between genders or having a fluctuating gender identity (genderfluid);[3] or being third gender or other-gendered, a category which includes those who do not place a name to their gender.[4]

Gender identity is separate from sexual or romantic orientation,[5] and genderqueer people have a variety of sexual orientations, just as transgender and cisgender people do.[6]

Covincing civilized people to have small families is a part of the Erase and Replace agenda.

I’m non-binary during those hours.

I work quads, triceps, hamstrings, and deltoids.

I can get to my binaries another time.

Like South Africa, NJ and NY are begging their young whites to stay - not out of love, but need for tax revenues and some measure of stability.

It won’t work; no need to work yourself to death while the ne’er-do-sh!ts frolic around you.

It specifies “men”. Aren’t they now “children” up to the age of 26?
