(22,336 posts)You have to have some historical context behind the law. Places that only allowed white men were used historically as places to make business connections, and people who couldn't join were kept from having a great number of opportunities. Women's only places like Curves are not usually focused on because women haven't historically had the power to turn Curves or someplace like it into a place where business connections of that level are made. So not having entry to Curves doesn't mean you're less likely to meet the people you need to know in order to get a job or advance in your job. But it does seem to me that it would likely fit under the same law regardless. I do find myself skeptical about people's motivations when they focus on groups that don't have power when it comes to laws like this.
