"Inside the British university where Muslims were segregated by sex"

Article here. When the shoe's on the other foot, suddenly, it's bad. Meanwhile, is anyone in the MSM or on campuses protesting women-only events, spaces, etc.? Not that I've seen. Excerpt:

"With women obliged to sit yards behind chairs reserved exclusively for men, the photograph above shows the shocking reality of gender segregation at a British university.

It was taken earlier this year at a training course at Leicester University organised by its Islamic Society. The course was entitled Call Of Duty and it featured a guest speaker from a hardline Islamic group.

Rupert Sutton of campaign group Student Rights, which monitors campus extremism, said: ‘The obvious discrimination in this picture is what segregated seating can mean in practice – women pushed to the back of the hall, while men are given the best seats to see and hear the speaker.’"

The DM is "reviewing" comments prior to permitting them to be seen. Let's see if they let mine through. Here it is:

Ah yes... once gender-segregation on college campuses is allowed for such events as for example ones held by (self-proclaimed) women's interest groups, the precedent is set. Example: Women's centers. On many campuses, these are women-only spaces. So, the precedent saying segregation by sex is permissible has been established. Groups claiming the right to ask that the sexes be segregated at certain events now can't be denied... unless the segregation seems to favor men instead of women? No.

This kind of neo-segregation's sprouting up all over: women-only gyms, hotel floors, subway and train cars, bars/clubs, restaurants, etc. Few seem to be complaining, yet if there's gender-segregation that in some way favors men-- all hell breaks loose.

Can't have it both ways. It's either fine, or not. My vote is "not". It needs to end... now... ALL of it.

Didn't we just read here that in Sweden, time is reserved for Muslim women in pools and men are not allowed.

So how is it that we condemn Muslim men for their alone-space, but we do not condemn Muslim women for their alone-space (a space that matriarchal Sweden allows).

very slim chance mate,I have tried twice but with the
preponderance of feminist views I do believe they fear for our safety and have therefore decided to make us persona non grata.Get used to it,I am.Wonder how many women use their old mans monika on these sites?
