If we have to march off into the next world, let us walk there on the bodies of our enemies.
And consider that its analogs and cousins still exist today.
Who said any of that? You labor under the pretense I think that is ok. I don't. What I disagree with, and was referring to my my original post, is the blatant fishing for outrage that some seem to engage in.

Sorry, that came out sounding like it was aimed at you. I apologize.
I meant the general ‘you’, and should have said “someone” instead.

Added to it - you didn't see them going to a Fundamental Islamic bakery and asking for a gay wedding cake.

I guess I don't see discrimination today being prevalent enough to cause market distortions severe enough to justify blunt intervention. Certainly no one is being turned away from motels & diners in town after town.
Curves fitness centers discriminate on the basis of sex, clearly in violation of federal law, but nobody cares because men have plenty of other gyms from which to choose. Curves is not limiting the supply enough to distort price or access - do you still think they should be coerced into serving men?
Shouldn't this also apply to the man trying to join Curves and to the Trans activist trying to force a devot religious conservative to create a custom "blue on the outside, pink on the inside" cake?
Very few people would argue the 2nd Amendment protects customers from the desires of businesses to be gun free. It only limits the government...

I don't know if it violates federal law, but there have been successful lawsuits against it in some states:
However if it does violate federal law, some states are in violation:...successful lawsuits against women only gyms in Minnesota, Wisconsin, California and Orange County. Some of these cases were won on the premise that men were not only denied access to work out at the clubs but also because they were also denied employment. In a case against Women’s Workout World in Chicago, not only were men finally allowed to work at the gym, but the ones who were turned down were paid $30,000 in damages. In 1997, a lawsuit against a Massachusetts health club, Healthworks Fitness Center, ruled that the club could not exclude men. source: https://fitnessmarketing.com/2011/04...iscrimination/I would think, much like employment, is there a bonafide need for the restriction? A gynecologist's office limiting patients to female only is pretty obvious. A dentist's office, probably not so much. Different courts have apparently arrived at different conclusions on the matter of gyms. Is it like a locker room where nudity or near nudity creates a bonafide need for segregation based on sex? I don't think that's really the case in our society at the moment.Due to the amount of protests from angry women regarding rulings in favor of men, many states have passed legislation to permit single-sex health clubs that benefit both sexes. These states are Alaska, Colorado, Hawaii, Illinois, Tennessee and New Jersey. (same source)
Sorta around sometimes for some of your shitty mod needs.
So does this mean that we have to disband the "He-Man Woman Hater's Club"?
There's nothing civil about this war.
OT, but reminds me of this:
