HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) The Connecticut Supreme Court wrestled Wednesday with the issues of sexual discrimination, differences between women and men and even the definition of gender while hearing arguments over whether fitness clubs can have women-only exercise areas.
The case has raised many thorny questions. Should women be protected from the ogling of men they believe are objectifying them? Do women-only workout areas discriminate against men who have to wait in line to use equipment in the general public area? What about women whose religions bar them from exercising with men?
Should lesbian women be barred from the women-only areas because they might objectify women? And what about transgender people?
