It was introduced after 150 women signed a petition asking for a female-only slot, which has existed in Tooting leisure centre for almost 20 years.

??

So if men 'can use' other pools, why can't these women sod off to Tooting?

If they will not do a men-only session either directly before/after the women only session, or at least at one of the other establishments - then it is inequality, aka sexism against men.

It's not just men being denied a facility which is payed for by the taxpayer (men being the biggest contributors), but there's the demonizing
assumption that men have to be segregated because they are uncontrollable sex maniacs and potential pedophiles.

By accepting segregation in our leisure activities it lubricates and normalizes the idea of segregation both legally and politically (the intent of feminism).

One man, Michael O'Conner, even threatened to run a campaign against what he labelled the council's "misandry".

He said: "I would like to alert the men of Wandsworth to the sexist, Harmanite takeover of the council.

"I have now been barred from my usual swimming time on Sunday evenings for the ‘crime’ of being a man."

I like this fellows stance. The word 'misandry' making yet another more public appearance.

"150 women signed a petition asking for a female-only slot"

well that makes it alright then.

How about if 150 BNP supporters sign a petition for a whites only session?

Also where exactly do you draw the line with such segregation? - presumably muslim men can't swim with women so they'd need a session and they wouldn't want to swim with non believers either. Then perhaps gays need a secession because of homophobia. Then you need to protect kids from pedos so you need a children only session, and then perhaps another session for the disabled.

Once all these slots have been filled men basically only get to use the pool from 1am to 4.20 am on the second Tuesday of the month (and that's assuming they've gone through a criminal records check of course and aren't wearing speedos (the later is genuine btw - some pools have banned such clothing!)

So we now know there are at least 150 sexist females in Putney who think it is acceptable to kick men out of a public facility because of their sex, in order to make way for superior females to enjoy the privilege of swimming exclusively in their own company.

I wonder how many of those 150 women lifted a finger to help build Putney swimming baths.

I don't have to wonder; I already know, as we all do. It was NONE, wasn't it?

I also wonder how many of those 150 women will, at other times and in other places, have no qualms about bleating how women are under-privileged and oppressed by men, and fervently believe in the glass ceiling.

Probably about 150 of them, I would guess.

Good grief, they actually posted my comment.

Somebody fell asleep at their post and failed to block it.

The only problem I see here is that the government is funding swimming pools. If this was a private swimming pool, it wouldn't be any problem that it wants to do this.

Also, this is discriminatory, not sexist, unless it's done in a hateful and prejudiced way. I hate the PC definitions of words where everything and anything is an ist.

One thing which pleased me about the article, is that it contains the word 'misandry':

One man, Michael O'Conner, even threatened to run a campaign against what he labelled the council's “misandry”.

As a consequence, the word has almost certainly found its way into the vocabularies of a few more people.

Excellent! And we shall be here with our site to let them talk about it.

Women should stop whining about how uncomfortable the presence of 'evul menz' is. Who do they think they are to act as feeling 'uncomfty' is a feeling exclusive for women? There are men who don't like walking around in their swimming trunks while some giggling girls are watching.

As for the part of the pool being funded with tax, apparantly this an example of what we work for, from the craddle to the grave... to fund the misandric-stunts of feminazis with our tax money. We get taxed more and more heavily as time progresses and we get to benefit less and less from it, why? Because all the freaking money is being used to screw us over again, again and again... I wager allot people life in miserable situations because of how they have been taxed to death just so the feminazis - who sit on their flabby fat asses screaming 'Misogynist!', 'Liberation!' and 'Empowerment!' - pathetic lifes and agendas are being paid for.

I think it's a wonderful idea that women can have a pool to themselves. I just hope they don't get mad if men want the same thing, in this case I do. Men should also be aloud to have male-only clubs and such. In fact, it would be even better if the Y.M.C.A. would become male-only, once agian. Not just male-only, but also alow male nudity in the pools. After all, male nudity ended when women were alowed in the Y.M.C.A.s and were also alowed to co-swim in schools. Men need activites with just men, as women need activites with just women in an enviroment where the opposite gender can not interfier or be seen.

This is an educational website for Christian men who wish to bring back nude swimming and male-only enviroments. After all, in my oppinion, this is just as needed for women in todays' society.
