Muslim Gyms

Should businesses be required to accommodate Muslim women? Well, that's a tough question. Yes, and no. If a gym has a policy of separation for men and women, no problem. But to insist that a business change their policy to appease a few, no, absolutely not. Personally, I agree, workout areas should be gender specific. Having men around while you're trying to get the flab off, and put things back where they were intended before age and gravity took over, is very nerve wracking. Many women won't even go to gyms that are coed. Most men, on the other hand, don't seem to have a problem with this. More power to them. Thank goodness for places like Curves! :) American is a land of opportunity! My suggestion would be for these women to start their own business catering to women. Have a swimming pool for women only! I'd even go to that! Have Little League teams for girls only. I don't think girls and boys should be playing sports on the same teams anyway. Yes, I'm soooo last century.
