I'll stand by the above But, I can also see the fellow's point if out of neccessity he wanted to access the women's fitness club and no other clubs are geographically within the same area & etc. and he was not accommodated, it is a real issue that has to be addressed.

Seriously? Can people actually be this stupid and still remember to breathe? Will these schools be fashioned after the highly successful Aboriginal Residential Schools or the more enlightened model of WWII Japanese internment camps? Once these underprivileged (and now culturally segregated) kids graduate are they going to build all black towns for them to live in? Wow...

I don't really have an issue with the club having a perogative to exclude men, provided a double standard was not applied and men had the same privilege of having a similar club.

RB Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 RB, since Litherland is the defendant's lawyer, would you really expect him to have a position any different than that? Those are the words from the Human Rights Code I don't really have an issue with the club having a perogative to exclude men, provided a double standard was not applied and men had the same privilege of having a similar club Women have unbalanced power. It is a mockery to say women have reached their landmarks. Every time we look at a generations of women truths need to be restated. The truth is that, as females, women can say they have accomplished this and that and no problem here, they did achieve much. But also face reality, what women have accomplished is over-emphasized and over-reaches to match what is ideal. Women are still much poorer than men and their politics lag far behind their strive of what is supposedly "feminism" I would like to see retribution for every female. It is hard not to see males in their various ways trying their darnest to capitalise on recent victims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Canada has numerous all-boy and all-girl schools. What's the difference? Admittedly, these segregated schools are private (although they receive various State-subsidies).
