WiseOwl182 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 What about lady only gyms like lady zone? Why isn't anyone kicking up a stink about them? Good point, they are discriminatory, although not a n equivalent to the train proposal. With a train, both sexes would be paying the same price for the same transport, but only one gender would have the option of a preferential carriage. With gyms, there is not the same limit on choice and presumably male only ones could be set up too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingjimmy Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 What about lady only gyms like lady zone? Why isn't anyone kicking up a stink about them? I think there's a big difference between a private business with a premise of their own and public transport that exists to serve us all. I have no problem with private men's only or women's only clubs, I think they should absolutely be allowed in a free society. But trains and buses are public spaces, and so discrimination in their provision is to me wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
