So... the behavior of an occasional individual is acceptable grounds for discriminating against everyone else who looks like him, instead of throwing the "creeper" out.

Men will be barred from using parts of an on-campus gym at the University of Southern California under a new initiative to make women and non-binary gym-goers feel more comfortable while working out.
The Student Assembly for Gender Empowerment (SAGE) pushed for the new rules in partnership with the Lyon Center, a recreational facility controlled by the university.
SAGE describes itself as a “programming assembly and intersectional feminist organization under the student government, committed to uplifting all voices oppressed by the patriarchy.”
The plan excludes men from working out in portions of the Robinson Room at the Lyon Center on Mondays and Wednesdays from 10 to 11 a.m., according to the Daily Trojan student newspaper.
Student Mengze Wu, a senior majoring in neuroscience, the moved is meant to address her discomfort working out in “men-dominated.”
“My past experiences with being in enclosed spaces where it’s very men-dominated have never been super pleasant,” Wu told the Daily Trojan. “There tends to be this problem where I don’t get to take up a lot of space unless I really assert myself. And even then, I face a lot of hindrance in feeling completely comfortable.”
Jana Alnajjar, a sophomore majoring in philosophy, politics, and law who acts as SAGE’s advocacy liaison, told the publication that she’s “heard from multiple women and non-binary students who want to be involved in different workout spaces but don’t feel comfortable being at the gym.”
“Whether it’s being approached regularly or feeling judged, over time that discomfort leads students to stop going to the gym altogether,” she added.

I hate sugar-free sugar. I never have dehydrated water to add. Usually I notice on totally-overcast sunny days, at night.

If the college as one of these, Student Assembly for Gender Empowerment (SAGE), then make sure they understand that is a huge RED FLAG.

"Women Only" gyms fail spectacularly due to low enrollment.
They can pull this stunt at a college because taxpayers and other students are paying the bills.
The men need to demand equal facilities. Watch the fireworks.

So... the behavior of an occasional individual is acceptable grounds for discriminating against everyone else who looks like him, instead of throwing the "creeper" out.
If we actually lived in a patriarchy, they would never ban men from gym areas.
“FWiW, I’m a member of a gym that requires a combined lift goal of 1000lbs (bench, deadlift, squat) or 20 clean military full pull-ups (no partials). I think it has one woman member and she’s a professional mountain climber.”
Would you give me the name of this gym? I’d like to check it out. In my 30 some odd years of lifting I’ve never seen a gym that could survive with those rules. EVERY gym I’ve ever worked out in (and there have lots) were always about the membership numbers.
I bet the school lets confused men into the women’s locker room.
