Harvard Gym Bans Men due to Muslim Complaints....

[bikerboy]

They are banning men from entering the gym as the muslim women do not want to be seen by men as its against their religion, etc.

I just want to know your thoughts on the matter. They were trying to say that its part of our diverse nation and that we are a melting pot.

America can hardly be called a "melting pot" if its citezens aren't "melting into the culture in my opinion.



Here's part of the story, you can read the rest you you like as i'll post the link. It was in our campus paper as well...


Harvard gym accommodates Muslim women

BOSTON (AP) — Harvard University has banned men from one of its gyms for hours a week, a move to accomodate Muslim women who, for religious and cultural reasons, cannot exercise comfortably in their presence.

The policy is already unpopular with many on campus, however, including some women who consider it sexist.

"I think that it's incorrect in a college setting to institute a policy in which half of the campus gets wronged or denied a resource that's supposed to be for everyone," said student Lucy Caldwell, who also wrote a column in The Harvard Crimson newspaper critical of the new hours.

i would not be going and hating on those "rag head" that is wrong. instead, i would be hating on the damn university.

the people who thought up this policy and said thats a good idea are fucking retarded.

lets get some things straight.

you have a right to feel safe when working out. everybody does


if your culture or views make you feel uncomfortable then go work out somewhere else.

if you want special treatment, then you have to pay for it and it CANNOT affect other people who dont want the special treatment.


i agree with bikerboy. this is a melting pot, you come here with your traditions and my traditions have to melt to yours. fuck that.


blame the policy makers at harvard not the women cause they probably just mentioned it to the Gov. student body and some person wanted have something for there grad school application and the damn policy makers at harvard got so affraid of seeming like they discriminate just decided to discriminate against their own country.

Here is my solution, since drinking is against their religion too, they can work out in privacy on Friday and saturday night from 11pm to 3am.
