Women-only gyms [View All]

[gollygee]

There's an interesting thread in GD about women-only gyms. A lot of people say that it's anti-feminist, although it's mainly men saying that I think. I like women-only gyms, and particularly did when I was younger, because I didn't like unwanted attention when I was working out. Is it a double standard to think women-only gyms are a good idea?

Also, there are a lot of Islamic women in my area and they need a women's only area because they can't be in gym gear in front of men. So even the co-ed gyms usually have a women's room that men aren't allowed in, and those rooms are very popular. I don't know if that's relevant or not.

I didn't want to post there just because I want to hear from other women, and particularly feminists, and not be told what the "feminist thing to do" is by men. That is an annoyance of mine.
