Harvard's bad choice

Harvard University caved in to the demands of several Muslim women who wanted gym time just for women. The gym, one of the lessor used gyms on campus, will be closed several times a week so that women can exercise without their traditional religious outfits without feeling uncomfortable that men might watch them. While I am all for religious practices, there is a key issue when the religious rights of a few are used to diminish the rights of others. What would happen if these students then complained that they did not want to workout with Jewish women or African American women because they make them feel uncomfortable. Harvard has opened the door to significant criticism, and a large majority of the criticism is from women who feel the rule against men is sexist.
