I was wondering what Ms. Burke would say about women only fitness clubs? Slim and Tone, Just for Women, and Curves are a quick few examples I've found.

They all restrict their memberships to women only, and from the articles I found (google search: "women only fitness clubs") they seem to have logical, defensible reasons for doing so.

I'm just wondering, men seem to get some exercise in an environment they desire at Augusta, and women get some exercise in an environment they prefer at such gyms.

So I'm just wondering, Ms. Burke, why the double standard? Is one double standard vs. another a "two wrongs make a right" kind of situation? I just don’t know.

Thoughts?
