You’re right. The country has bought into a load of crap.

Didn't the “Curves” exercise franchise chain just run into problems for being sexist?

I don’t see why this is news. It’s not a new idea.

I traveled to Japan after graduating from college. I stayed in a upscale hotel that boasted not one but two floors for women only. I thought it was a nice idea. The hotel that I was in catered to an international clientele. Some of the men, no doubt inspired by Hollywood, viewed American women as easily available.

It is also a great way to, politely, get rid of a man. I’m sorry, I can’t ask you up. I’m on the women only floor.

"A lot of women are saying they're not feeling like they're safe when they're traveling to a strange city,'' Groom said. "They don't necessarily want to go down to a lounge and feel like they are getting hit on by guys.''

Oh, for heaven's sake. As a woman, I have to say this guy's dealing with a bunch of stupid whiney loser women, probably dems. And it's pretty easy to avoid "getting hit on by guys"; any woman over 18 knows that. If they're too damn scared to travel alone, let the idiotic whimperers stay home and churn butter. Fools.

yupper it will..men won’t be the ones suing..it’ll be all the other “sexes” who will now demand equal treatment or face a discrimination suit..
wanna make any bets on how long until the first one shows up??
Naw, but I'm trying to anticipate the tactic. Confront management at the desk when they say no - or employ deception to make it past the front desk and get the room, leaving it to paying female residents on the 19th floor to serve as whistle blowers and create a scene that pits real women vs. management vs. shemales. The latter option would allow them to corral women customers with "politically incorrect prejudices" among the defendants, all in an attempt to spank Jane Average Public for "discrimination."

Call me paranoid, but I interpret that into yet another end run against gender specific (and only TWO!) restrooms. I don't give a crap about gays who comport themselves with dignity, but I don't want men in my restroom and I can't stand men putting on affectations as females. Yuck.
