Ladies, you had to know this was coming. Curves (the all female gym) in California would be affected by whatever judgment comes out of this. Where's the ACLU when you need them. (/sacrcasm)

I heard they don't want men joining because they will leave the seats up...

What's amazing is that it took this long for this obviously illegal practice to be smacked down.

Call me insensitive and bigoted, but for me, women-only gyms are lesbo-erotic hotspots...

This is what they get for barging in where they weren't wanted.

21st Century update of an old maxim: "What's good for the gander is good for the goose."
I absolutely love this lawsuit. Next we can go after the all black student organizations at our colleges.

When I was in college I happened to be in the gym while a girls aerobics class was going on.
After a few minutes of stunned silence I literally had to leave. It is truly astounding how many beautiful girls there are in many colleges.
There is no way I could have attended a class like that.

So THIS mentality is Okay...
All-female fitness clubs are popular with women who don't want to be ogled by men while they're exercising, supporters said. They say there are plenty of co-ed clubs for men.
But THIS mentality is not...
All-white fitness clubs are popular with whites who don't want to be ogled by non-whites while they're exercising, supporters said. They say there are plenty of minority clubs for minorities.

"This is what they get for barging in where they weren't wanted."
EXACTLY! I have no problem whatsoever with women having their own organizations, but so many of them think the pendulum swings only one way. I attribute that to the pack of feminazis out there who really want to BE men.

Men and women should have the right to have clubs for their own gender. This lawsuit was indeed inevitable and long overdue. Let us hope that it will finally expose for all to see the insanity of the left and what they have been doing to our society.
I am waiting for someone in college to join the women's tennis team or women's softball team or women's track team. Why can't men join sororities?
Those on the left have sued to stop free ladies night at a bar. The practice encourages male customers and guess what --- it is good for business. We must get back control of our judiciary.

You are just making a rather broad generalization. I belong to a women-only gym, and haven't seen any lesbo-erotic behavior..and I'm a hottie, so I would have been hit on for sure!
The thing I like best about a women-only gym is there are no sweaty grunting muscle boys pumping iron.

"He said the manager told him that men can use the club only one day a week. Another club representative said women can use the facilities at any time, Kottle complained.
He said he also was told that monthly fees are the same for men and women. "
Looks like an open and shut case ...

When women work out they don't sweat and grunt?
They aren't working out hard enough! Hottie? Any pics?

Call me insensitive and bigoted, but for me, women-only gyms are lesbo-erotic hotspots.
You are thinking like a man. Women think and react differently. Women, who really want to exercise, feel uncomfortable with men around watching them sweat and grunt. For women, the co-ed places are often just joints were the members stand around and flirt in tight, skimpy outfits. A female only gym allows women to get exercise without feeling that men are judging their bodies.
