Excluding men to let women work out
In this case, the gym has been declared off limits for male students. That’s discrimination. Plain and simple. It is idiotic to claim that it is only for a limited number of hours every week. The question here is of principle and not of convenience. Would it okay to ban women from 15 minutes on subway cars or should taxis be declared off limits for them for one hour in a week? It might not actually cause anyone inconvenience but once the wrong precedent has been established, it inevitably leads to future conflicts.
