Went Looking For Gyms and Found "Women Only"

This is literally indistinguishable from a "Whites only" sign...

family-friendly

...as long as you're a single mom with a daughter.

My local gym has refused to any male/female only classes (they run like circuit training classes 3 times a week as well as the normal gym stuff.

The owner told me over a beer that he's seen an up tick in women; turns out women like checking out fit muscular men during rest periods

More gender "equality". /s

Of course "family friendly" is pure bullshit, but I don't see anything wrong with women-only gyms per se. It's probably even a lucrative business model that attracts a lot of lesbians and women too shy to visit a regular gym. And they save money because they don't need gender separated restrooms and locker rooms.

However, imagine the outcry if the genders were switched.

If there are no gyms around that you can use within a specific radius, you can sue them for gender discrimination.

Yeah, you can ban a specific demographic from your business without it being discrimination, as long as that demographic is cis-men.
