Eh, this is just feminism in reverse. If this were the government, I could understand; but it's a private business.
Lawsuits like this make nightlife worse. Bars and clubs can't charge men more for entry, so the ratios suffer instead. I will gladly pay more (and scrimp on drinks ) for a better ratio.
That said, I always do feel shafted by gyms, as a man who lifts. The total cost and maintenance of the equipment I use is minimal; squat racks, weights, barbells are practically free of moving parts, with little recurring costs. Compare that to what women and SWPL men use - treadmills, complicated machines, classes. The iron crowd is the cheapest to service, yet gyms always treat them like dirt (maybe because they actually come in).
