Twas on the icon. Still is.

And again, you're right, there is anti-male discrimination, particularly in the so-called "caring" professions, partly because of hysteria about paedophiles, and the mistaken belief that men are more likely to be abusive than women.

But again, ALL discrimination of this sort is wrong. All of it. Against men, against women, against black people, against white people, against little green aliens if they are the best person for the job. The fact that discrimination against men exists doesn't weaken the point that discrimination is wrong and hurts people, it strengthens it.

For the record, I'd never go to a women-only exercise group or swimming club; partly because, like you, I don't agree with the very concept, and partly because of the sort of women who DO go to them.
