Your wife may be working with older women. Our Curves is mostly women age 20 to 35. Depends on where you live. And again, most of us are NOT fat. I wanted the weight machines myself.

Those on this thread who support defeating this as a payback to feminism are actually supporting feminism. They are taking the option away from women to exercise in a same gender gym just like the feminists took it freedom of association away from men. Therefore they are promoting the same feminists ideas. Perhaps posters should spend their time defending the all women's gyms and leading the way back to all male groups.

What I am doing is cheering the pointing out of blatant hypocrisy. Men *and* women should be allowed to exclude whomever they wish in private associations, so places like "Curves" would be perfectly legal and welcome.

But if every place men gather *must* be open to women so they can have "access to power", etc. then fair is fair.
Women should have no places that are gender-exclusive if men can't have them.

Don't fear that the suit will win. The blatant hypocrisy of "affirmative action" survives at all levels on the weak premise of past discrimination so this will also survive.

The message should be that women shouldn't take their exclusiveness for granted while demanding a different standard from men.

"Perhaps posters should spend their time defending the all women's gyms and leading the way back to all male groups."

But don't you see? That will never happen as long as it is only males whose freedoms are trampled on. We are only half the population, and the half who has to shut up and take it whenever we are told what to do. The PC world is deaf to us. If some women were on our side however, then who knows? Perhaps rationality might return.

Not a chance. Women have taken away men's right to choose with whom they associate. Outside of the work place and public situations, people should have the right to run their clubs as they see fit.

Maybe when enough women lose their freedom to choose with whom they associate they might tell the Feminazis in the Sisterhood to knock it off.
