Totally agree.

I too however would also like to see an end to female only gyms, swimming evenings, classes and so on. When I asked about why many sports clubs do this the common answer is that females feel like they are leered at and feel uncomfortable with men around. This makes a huge sweeping stereotype of all men as being perverts and not to be trusted. If we are going to move towards gender equality across sports then that means equality BOTH ways.
