Column: The sad demise of MSU's women-only lounge

Article here. Excerpt:

'The end of an era is near, and it’s a little sad. Michigan State University says it will reopen the now-closed women’s lounge at the MSU Union as a generic space for both sexes.

University of Michigan-Flint professor Mark J. Perry, like a skunk at a lawn party, has filed a civil rights complaint, saying that men’s rights were violated when the university spent money on a space that doesn’t welcome the guys.

Though the university says the lounge was being converted before the complaint was filed, Perry has been beating this drum for awhile.

Perry, who blogs for American Enterprise Institute, has a point. We wouldn’t tolerate, nor should we, an enclave that served only men. So how can we flip the script and use different rules when it comes to a special lounge for women?'
