I think in the case of my local pool, closing it to men 4 times a week for a couple of hours is reasonable. Although, it was one of the reasons why I didn't join.
What's reasonable?
One person's reasonable is another person's outrage.
Where's the line?
I think it's different for different people.
And that's one of the challenges of living in a society.
It's tough sometimes.
I don't mind saying that I have a few problems with the local Hasidic community. Many around here do. But frankly, the pool thing is probably the only tangible thing that has affected me personally. And I'm not terribly bothered by it. I could have gone swimming a couple of hours later, but chose not to. I don't know what would happen if a bunch of the local hipster chicks went during the "Ladies Swim" wearing thing bikinis. Would they be asked to cover up? I don't know.
Civilization can be annoying sometimes...
