Islamization
Just got done reading a quick blurb in the Detrit Free Press after eating lunch and I am slightly if not more than lsightly disturbed about what I read.
In the article titled "Fitness USA agrees to buffer between genders" there is a push by members of the Islamic religion to put up a barrier in a coed section of the gym to prevent a mingling of the genders. I understand that there is also a push from some of the female members of the gym to install the same wall/frosted glass. However this is an idea that would not even get thought in my opinion if it were not for the Islamic backing of the idea. No gym wants to get into an argument over religious values etc and Islam as we know can be strict on the whole mingling of the genders. For a gym to take this step is ridiculous. HAve we as a country A. Become so scared of offending people that we cowtow to demands and B. are people that go to gyms really so insecure as to want to not see members of the opposite gender while working out. The gender seperation issue was originally brought about by 200 islamic woman who dont want to violate Islam, for allah's sake, get over it this is America not Turkmenistan or somewhere like that.
My suggestion on this is that if you are Islamic and you dont want to see people of the opposite gender when your working out, invest in a home gym or maybe start your own Islamic gym with two seperate areas. For those of the complaints that were not Islamic but merely members, grow up. Your not going to get cooties, stop being so fucking insecure go to the damn gym and workout. Thats what its for.

I'd say they're well within their rights as consumers to petition the gym to change their policies. The gym then will make a determination as to how such measures might affect its profitability, and they will act accordingly.
If the gym says no, and the women believe that the gym has erred, and that indeed there is a great demand for gender-segregated workout facilities, they should put together some capital, and open a gym of their own and make a fortune. Or just join the women only gyms, like Curves.
The bottom line is that this is an issue that needs to be decided on a case by case basis, by the interested parties, not government intervention. (like always!)
