I belong to a women-only gym, and there is at least one Orthodox Jew and one Muslim who work out there when I do. A few weeks back, a man was there to do some work on the office computer, and, even though he had his back turned to the machines, the Orthodox woman, who was already quite modestly dressed (long sweatpants and a short-t-shirt) quietly went into the lockerroom and came back with a sweatshirt on top of her t-shirt and a "sweatskirt" on top of her sweatpants. The Muslim woman was not there that evening, so I do not know what she would have done.

In other words, I have no problem with this group paying for access the say way other groups do.

I meant "short-sleeved t-shirt"

FYI:

I am an Orthodox Jew and I can confirm that the Orthodox practice is similar: men and women (as well as boys and girls over a certain age) never swim together and women will never be seen by men in anything like swim clothes or workout type clothes. There is no equivalent of the Burka. Orthodox women may dress very fashionably, wear makeup and do not have to cover their faces in any way.

The key point here is modesty: if we are revealing in our dress, we get certain ideas about the skin we can see.

Meanwhile, the Feminazi's won't rest until Augusta National Golf Club allows women members. Since I assume that you also support seperate clubs for men, I won't get on your case for belonging to an all-female helath club. But I really do think that the cows from Now ought to picket your gym and all others like it.
