Tirryb writes "The BBC reports here that an exclusive London hotel has banned men from an entire building/wing (68 rooms) to make a female-friendly environment."

"Even the staff in that building will be female only, and the rooms will have nice features handy for both men and women, such as lit wardrobes - except, of course, men won't be allowed to use them.

I just love this bit: 'He admitted the ban on men could not be fully enforceable if, for example, a guest wanted to invite a man to her room.' So as long as a man is on a leash he won't be arrested for being there. Wooppee. There are no email addresses for the hotel, but I'm writing a letter anyway explaining that noone who works for my company will ever stay there while they hold such a sexist policy."

Ed note: There are indeed email addresses for this hotel as well as phone contacts. See this page for contact information, with this page being for the specific hotel in question and City-at-grangehotels.com being the email address for it. How's this for a rhetorical question to ask them: "If a lot of white people said they felt vulnerable among black people within the hotel, would you create an all-white section? Or vice versa?"
