FIGHT.

THIS.

NEVER give in to this kind of thing. NEVER tolerate this kind of discrimination. NEVER knuckle under to having your culture and customs thrown over for somebody else's, because they refuse to assimilate.

It's worth fighting over. He should've barged past them, got in the pool with his daughter, and anybody that didn't like it could leave. OUR tradition says NOTHING about the misogynistic crap that keeps the sexes so segregated and unfriendly with each other that they can't be in the same pool at the same time. What a bunch of medieval BS!

In December last year, Croydon Council in South London came under fire for running Muslim-only sessions at one of its leisure centres.
BLATANT discrimination. NO!

Quote:
Non-Muslim members of Thornton Heath leisure centre were angry that they could not swim during the Muslim-only sessions on Saturdays and Sundays unless they obeyed the strict dress code.
Go when you want, wear what's appropriate for YOUR custom, and don't pay any dam' attention to what anybody else wears, because it's not any of your dam' business. NO!

Quote:
For men, this involved wearing shorts which kept the navel hidden and were extended below the knee, while women bathers had to wear a swimming costume which covered their body from the neck down to the ankle.
Go to HELL, and I'm going swimming! I'll wear my usual swim trunks, and if anybody objects, I'll object to what THEY wear, as I find all that sniffy moral superiority holding itself up as the ONLY 'moralistic' way as VERY offensive, and where does THAT leave us? NO!

Quote:
Similarly, Wolverhampton Council and South Lanarkshire local authority have also been criticised for operating women- only swimming for Muslims.
Sex AND religious discrimination? NO!

This is TOTALLY unacceptable.
