Women-only Recreational Program Upheld as Legal

[Orgasmo]

So there you have it folks, you can have women only programs because women needs safe space from men. It's a one-way street though, since the reverse doesn't work.

A Vancouver man has lost his claim that his human rights are being violated by women-only workout times at a downtown eastside gym.

According to a BC Human Rights Tribunal decision, Craig Teneycke's complaint against the City of Vancouver and the Ray-Cam Community Centre has no reasonable prospect of succeeding.

"The respondents are likely to succeed in establishing that setting aside the two-hour women only time slot in a fitness centre is rationally connected to the goal of providing vulnerable women with a safe environment in which to exercise as part of ongoing efforts to improve the health of these women," wrote tribunal member Vladimir Pylypchuk.

"If men were permitted to exercise along with women, that would defeat the very purpose of providing a safe place, or a safe environment for women who feel vulnerable in such circumstances."

*waits for feminists to protest this discrimination*







just kidding. feminists don't care about equality. they only care about to making sure women get the long end of the stick in every aspect of life. that's why they fight for girls to get into the boy scouts despite the fact there is already girl scouts. feminists love segregation and discrimination as long as it's men who are getting discriminated against

 

[Bald1]

Bullshit. There are women only gyms where they can be "vulnerable" while working out in their safe spaces.

 

[j123]

So basically planet fitness + curves

 

[voxom]

btw... all the feminists are doing here is telling the world that women are so fucking weak they need special treatment in pretty muche very aspect of life.(which feminists do all the time)

"In order for a human rights complaint to succeed a complainant would have to prove that the discrimination had resulted in some kind of adverse effect. "

Agree with this part.


"This argument misses the point that, in some circumstances, it is necessary to treat people differently in order to attain true equality, particularly when dealing with historical inequality or vulnerable classes of person. It is not always a one-size-fits-all solution."

Disagree with this.


If we are talking about something silly like strength standards, age and gender should factor in.

But when we're talking about the application of law, fuck yes everyone needs to be treated the same, unless we're talking about a legitimate handicap.

So unless you why to declare having a vagina as a handicap, it's a nonsense approach to law

I hear golds gyms in west Hollywood are men only. Some of you dudes might like some of the perks there.

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

No group cares about equality, they all just care about maximizing their own ability -- they would take 13+ hours a day if they could, because everyone feels they deserve priority -- and by association, our groups feel the same.

Just a lot of bitterness that historically, white males are the best at maximizing their positioning

It's alright. If I want to attend, I just call myself a woman.

 

[Fawlty]

Nobody cares about this. Stop. Fucking gym has girl hours. We're all going to be okay.

 

[Cirris]

It's alright. If I want to attend, I just call myself a woman.

Exactly. Just stuff yourself into a stretchy leotard, call yourself Brittney, and then watch their head explode when you trump their SJW "victim" rules by bypassing them with higher SJW "victim" rules.

Let me get this straight, this guy wanted to participate in a women-only fitness club and felt his human rights were violated?

...what?

 

[ripskater]

Didn't the Boy Scouts get sued for not allowing girls?

 

[SammyPops]

Shoudn't more women be offended at the underlying assumption/belief of 'vulnerable' ?

Totally serioulsy, I would understand this ruling for the mentally or physicaly disabled. Pack a gym full od Down Syndrome tens and no problem at all.

 

[OverCoronavirus Pressure]

Does it include men with penises who call themselves women?
Hail, hail Robonia, a land I didn't make up

 

[Torrid]

So? It's probably a gym like Curves.

Is he going to bitch about his application at Hooters being thrown out too?

Spoiler

 

[Higus]

It's called "Protected Class"

lol. So what's that, a Boise 7?

Women-only gyms probably exist because women don't want dudes perving on them. Outright banning men is in poor taste but if you tried to tacitly ban men by painting it all pink and making it ridiculously girly and off-putting, if anything this would make it a creep-magnet.

Sounds like a gay man's paradise
