Discriminatory Clubs

This morning I heard on the radio that a particular men's club in Brisbane has voted to keep excluding women from membership. Is that discriminatory? Unquestionably. Should it be allowed? Well, that all depends on your point of view. For example, take Curves, a gym catering exclusively to women. I doubt they would admit a man as a member, since that's what they're all about - excluding men so women can exercise in peace. The only difference with the men's club is that they are not a gym and the gender roles are reversed.

PS - Apparently that doesn't make it okay.
PPS - And what if the men's club was a gym too?
