The battle over Michigan State University’s women-only lounge began with a rival school’s male professor.
Mark Perry, who teaches economics at the University of Michigan’s Flint campus, had stumbled upon a news story about the 91-year-old room in MSU’s sprawling student union. “They’d written about what a great space this is for women,” Perry said. “They can go in and take a nap and not be worried about being bothered.”
He figured it couldn’t be legal. Banning men from a taxpayer-funded study area, Perry thought, could violate Title IX, a federal law meant to protect gender equality on college campuses. So he contacted the school. Nothing changed. He sent a complaint to the Michigan Department of Civil Rights in June, but the department would not accept it because Perry had not personally endured discrimination. Then a writer for conservative news site The Daily Caller highlighted his grievance in a July 12 story.
Perry, who blogs about financial issues for the American Enterprise Institute, a Washington think tank, followed up with a post of his own the next day: “Is it really legal for a public university to blatantly violate the civil rights of 50% of its student body?”
Two days later, MSU quietly shuttered the women-only lounge.

“I don’t mind a women’s lounge, as long as there is a men’s lounge too.”
Mens lounges are bad and unfair because when men get together they do stuff like create technology and build civilizations
Agreed. I wish there was more of this happening.
I see it as a God thing too.
God lets us play by our own rules and usually at some point we realize it’s not really working as good as we thought.
Maybe Alinsky got the idea from God (knowingly or unknowingly)
I think you’ve answered your own questions.
That’s the truth!
That’s already under attack when the man says he’s a woman.
The same has already happened with women’s shelters, such that men who say they are women are allowed in. And given that lesbians are already complaining that their abusive partners can get unfettered access, you know that eventually a man will say he’s a woman to get to abuse his partner in the shelter.
It is immoral for the media to be covering up transgender sex crimes, but they are demonstrably covering up Muslim rape gangs in the name of protecting Islam.

Hoorah!
Another FReeper, who knows how to use the word, “infer” correctly.
The response to Alinksy is: When dealing with leftists, I neither have nor observe any rules.
Oh! I know! Let me play, too.
Which of the Circles of Dante's Inferno does Hillary belong in?
HAH. . .exactly. . .!!!!!
(Imply from that what you will, I'm not trying to infer anything to you).
Are your whiskers grayer than mine? Click my screen name to see mine.
Wait. Click on my screen name.

In Stafford County, VA, there is a co-ed soccer league for young kids and a girl-only soccer league, but NO boys-only soccer league.
Wimps and eunuchs in Stafford County.
Either have a male only lounge too, or no off limits lounges for anyone.
Let the libtards feel being hoisted on their own pitard.
You know they used to have places just for guys to relax, until women bitched and the powers that be said no.
MSU quietly closed it during summer break....wait til the 20,000 coeds get back in the fall.....there will be protests!
One of them. Edie Adams was the most prolific actress advertising them. I think she was married to Ernie Kovacs.
I am a luddite, pure and simple, but if you look up “Cigars, cigarettes and Tiparillos” on the internet, you will see some interesting personalities selling these products. I was surprised seeing our very own President Ronald Reagan giving cartons of Chesterfields as Christmas presents. Those were the olden days of yore, though.
