Sexism row as children's play centre bans fathers and all boys aged over nine
Article here. Excerpt:
'Kids Go Wild recently opened in Sparkhill, Birmingham, and boasts it is the first soft play venue in the country for just mothers and children. Staff at the business openly tell men they are not allowed in and a flyer posted to homes in the city reads: 'Ladies and children only. No boys over nine allowed.'
...
The Birmingham Mail reported that a woman who claimed to be the manageress, but who refused to give her name, defended the policy.
She said: 'It's a predominantly Asian community around here and we're catering for that. It's a cultural thing.
'It's not that men are an issue - ladies are more comfortable around women.
'We've had ladies coming in and they've not questioned it [ban on men]. They've been asking for it for a long time.'
