Should a women-only hour at the gym be the standard policy?

If the policymaker believes that can satisfy more patrons than they can dissatisfy with a particular policy, there's no reason for them not to put it in the place. 5:30-6:30 might be a bit inconvenient, or really incovenient, probably really incovenient, but 8:00-9:00 is generally a slow time. If they can get enough women cool with the time, they'll only be putting off like a few guys to the benefit of a larger group. Sound business, innit?

As for segregation being in place, the context is uni gyms. You get to use the pleb gym, while chad rippetoe on the lifting team has his favourite barbells bearings oiled daily by the staff.
And while we're at it, let's talk pools, uni or otherwise. Should the same policies be enforced similarly?

Sorry, better luck next time though ;)

it is not my intention to hurt, merely to get a response to very pressing questions regarding the topic, which you have sadly refused to provide. I'm the one hurt, really.

I know the feeling. Trust me. I'm not talking about you, I mean someone else. I applaud you, actually. I'm being serious. I'll respectfully concede the debate, but that doesn't mean either of us is right, nor that I resend my position on anything or anyone.

Of course I'm being sarcastic. You have such little faith. I'm Catholic myself. I don't believe in any feminist ideas at all. I think it's absurd

I understand the reasoning, but the solution is not the best. I'm assuming the hour would be during a convenient time for people to exercise. But this would be bad for the men, whose time would be crammed into everyone else's. This would create long wait times, so people would end up not even being able to exercise, as opposed to just not feeling comfortable.

Nope.
Women-only spaces should never be enforced, they should always be an option.
OOC:
Radical Feminist, caring about the oppressed gender, that's why I have a strong sense of justice.

PRO:
Radical Feminism (proudly SWERF - moderately TERF),
Gender abolitionism,
birth control and population control,
affirmative ongoing VERBAL consent,
death penalty for rapists.

AGAINST:
patriarchy,
pornography,
heteronormativity,
domestic violence and femicide.
