Let me try one too.

All-male clubs are popular with men who don't want to be bothered by women while they're smoking cigars and talking about golf, supporters said. They say there are plenty of co-ed clubs for women.

I feel like Jacques Derrida!

In regards to women's complaint that men ogle them while working out I believe women are part of the problem. Ever notice they always wearn those skimpy/tight/thong type clothes? BTW those thongs they wear have to be uncomfortable while working out(chafing)

If thye want to lesson men ogling them they should wear a lose t-shirt or regular pull up baggy gym pants.

I disagree with your stereotypes. A) not every guy is sweating and grunting, B) plenty of pretty men work out at the gym and C) there are women who are ashamed of what they look like and would rather not be seen at the gym and D) the gym is a social outlet for professionals but for the hottie crowd, they don't look that good without working out.

And what about those chicks who are wearing perfume at the gym? Or, the ex gymnast who feels the need to stretch where the weight area is?

Those are two big distractions...

All of the State employees involved with this lawsuit should be immediately fired.

I think this is a great idea and should be pushed untill the femanazis and without A CLU make public statements that Men only clubs are Constitutional and they will never again pursue harassment litigation abuse against them.

There are plenty of other golf courses where women can play golf but the New York Times got all bent out of shape because they weren't allowed at Augusta National.

So I would presume the NYT will give front page support to this man's case, right? Right?

Let me try one too.

My turn, my turn!

All-straight Boy Scout clubs are popular with boys who don't want to be bothered by homosexuals while they're scouting, supporters said. They say there are plenty of mixed clubs for homosexuals. Like that?

When I lived in Boston many years ago there was this place the Inn Square Mens Bar. It was not a stip joint. It was a bar for men to drink in when they did not want to be oggled by women. By the 70s they already let women in, but it was 'discouraged' on some nights I think.

Personally I think gender specific things are fine. But that's not what are laws say.
