- True, if clubs are barring single men and NOT single women they are
- discriminating based on sex and I would hope the courts would find
- that to be illegal discrimination.
-
- Bill Arnett mentioned the idea of womens health spas that allow only
- women members and mentioned that that was legal discrimination. Now
- here is some food for thought. Suppose a nudist/naturist resort was
- for women only. I.e. only women could purchase memberships. Would
- that be legal? Well, my guess is yes. Now suppose they had a rule
- that members could bring guests (for a small day use fee, or maybe
- no day use fee, and maybe a limit on number of guests) and furthermore
- the guests could be men or women, children or adults. Hmm, they now
- have effectively blocked out single men coming in on their own. Note
- that a single male could come in as a guest of a female.
-
- Is this discrimination? Would it be legal? Its an interesting thought.
