Student claims women-only weight class is discrimination

Article here. Excerpt:

'A controversy has surfaced at Boise State University, over a weight-lifting class targeted for only women.

One male BSU student says because Boise State is a public university, they are breaking discrimination laws by having the class.

Former Idaho Attorney General, David Leroy, says merely granting exclusive use of a public facility to one group is not discriminating against all other groups.

Leroy added that not only does he think the student accusing BSU of discrimination doesn't fully understand the law, but furthermore, that same logic used in the accusation would give us bigger issues than a women-only weight class.'

I see absolutely no difference between this sort of (gender) discrimination and the racial discrimination barring "Coloreds" from places.
Someone tell me how it is any different?
