How about Chrisians only hours? I don’t feel comfortable in a building with members of a belief system that wants to either dominate me or behead me. How about no Muslims in the US?
Pay attention to what they are doing around the world. Pay attention to the Koran. Keep them out of this country and deport all we can!
What was I reading yesterday about America MUST be a melting pot, and not the PC salad bowl? Stupid crap like this really makes that point well. Wher edo we draw the line? At every ethinicity, and sexual preference except white heterosexual male?
LOL
What about the transgendered students? You know that will be a huge issue at Harvard and the other Ivies. Two liberal groups fighting it out. I will get the popcorn.
“What about the transgendered students?”
Then it is up to them whether they feel as a man or woman at the time.

I am the opposite...I only enjoy working out in front of women. Therefore, I would request that the gym hours be co-ed.
I do hope they will accomodate.
I would hate it if the Y I go to were to have women-only hours and men-only hours.
I would quit if that happened. I can only go and work out when I get a break between jobs I’m working on, and if I were to find a free hour to run down there, and walking up to the entrance I saw a sign saying “Women Only-Come Back Later” I’d tear up my card and membership and join a separate club.
Doesn’t bother me at all to have both sexes exercising, I don’t pay attention to anything but the workout I’m on.

I agree with the idea of gender-segregating the gym, but not the reasoning as well. Too often, especially on college campuses, you get the guys trying to either check out the girls or impress them, and the girls are either trying to impress the guys or complaining about the guys checking them out.
My solution would to be build/renovate one on-campus workout place to be gender-segregated (there would still be plenty of co-ed workout space - even my not-so-big school has at least 4 or 5 ‘fitness centers’). In addition, they could have slightly smaller and lighter equipment for the women, and move stuff like free weights or yoga mats between the two sides as needed.
chinese men who pick up muslim women who work out in burkas and long sleeves... are definitely taking pottruck...
if your religion inconveniences you... change your religion...
performing acts of faith, like working out amidst men while your in a burka displays your faith...
