In response to a request by female Muslim students, Harvard University has created women-only workout hours at one of its campus gyms. The decision has angered some students at the Ivy League university.

Don't most gyms (schools etc, and public) have women only sessions anyway? Just not for fat ugly lesbians anymore but Muslims as well (j/k)

If this is the case then I want men-only workout hours at the gym because it's embarrassing when I work out because seeing women's nice asses when they're bending over and stretching or running sometimes gives me an erection. And I don't want that to happen, so there can't be any women present.

Just gives you another place to store the plates...

I know there are commonly women-only classes in gyms, and some women-only chains (ie, Curves). Don't think it's necessarily a big deal, but the precedent is a bit concerning. Are they going to have a gym with no machines to accommodate the Amish population?

Pretty stupid tbh. Gym's should be available to all students at all times. I'd be pissed if my gym cut a few hours just for chicks. Unless of course it was before noon.

I don't see why muslim women even need to go to a gym if they have to spend the rest of their time in the kitchen anyways.

so i guess the only way to not piss people off is to have the word muslim at least 6 pages away from a story about rule change requests?

I think it's more because non-religious organizations are bending over backwards to please certain religions in the name of good publicity and appeasement.

so, one of three university gyms now has a total of 4 hours women-only workout per week ? I am outraged...

From what I know, it is not uncommon for gyms to have women-only schedules. And for good reasons, I might add. Not every woman feels comfortable in a co-ed environment. No big deal.
And btw, would we even talk about this if the request had come from Hindu students ?

Considering it was a request which Harvard willingly chose to accept, I don't really see the problem.

Mind boggling. Around here there's also gyms for women only. What the fuck is up with that?
