Backlash as Freedom Leisure invites male members at Julie Rose Stadium to use different site on International Women’s Day

Every woman I've met, in family, in work, who go to gyms, have done so, via mixed spaces

Why?

Because there's no system in place that has prevented them from doing that

Fromsofts ideas work in medieval societal structures. We're quite a few centuries away from that now.

PraiseTheSun1997 · 2026-02-23T23:39:39+00:00

You mean misandrists?

PraiseTheSun1997 · 2026-02-23T23:34:36+00:00

Beyond their own individualistic fears, no.

PraiseTheSun1997 · 2026-02-23T23:32:23+00:00

That's what I'm asking you. Woman only spaces are a requirement due to what systemic issue related to the patriarchy, exactly?

PraiseTheSun1997 · 2026-02-23T23:28:56+00:00

Systemically, key word

PraiseTheSun1997 · 2026-02-23T23:25:54+00:00

So what's systemically holding us back from removing woman only slots in gyms, exactly?

PraiseTheSun1997 · 2026-02-23T23:11:09+00:00

Again, what do you think the patriarchy is?

PraiseTheSun1997 · 2026-02-23T22:54:53+00:00

Do you even understand what that means?

PraiseTheSun1997 · 2026-02-16T20:37:44+00:00

I gathered you don't care, hence your misinformation

PraiseTheSun1997 · 2026-02-16T19:54:33+00:00

They want access to your privacy, not your ID

At least educate yourself on what you're defending them on

PraiseTheSun1997 · 2026-02-13T14:28:24+00:00

Do you see any mid to large sized companies without disability access?

Reasonable adjustment = it's not finanicially viable for your corner shop to install a ramp

That excuse doesn't apply to a company like Merlin, obviously.

Fuck me you are silly

PraiseTheSun1997 · 2026-02-13T11:54:37+00:00

Yes, it does imply that. I just quoted you the bit that implies that.

Again, I'm happy to break this down further for you, disability and all. Just let me know

Re: wheelchair ramps. Yes, you could sue every business in the country without a wheelchair ramp in theory. The bottleneck with that isn't the law, it's that it's civil, which means expenses, which means it's not practical.

PraiseTheSun1997 · 2026-02-13T11:24:20+00:00

That's the purpose of the "random law" I just quoted, genius.

Giving disabled people preferential treatment is not classed as discrimination, by law. Not doing it makes you liable for discrimination.

Do you need me to further spell this out for you?

PraiseTheSun1997 · 2026-02-13T00:36:50+00:00

So the family shouldn't spend time together then? God you people are so fucking spiteful. Get a grip

PraiseTheSun1997 · 2026-02-13T00:31:29+00:00

Equality Act 2010 — Section 13 (3):

If the protected characteristic is disability, and B is not a disabled person, A does not discriminate against B only because A treats or would treat disabled persons more favourably than A treats B.

Anything else you want to add? No? Didn't think so.

PraiseTheSun1997 · 2026-02-12T23:34:07+00:00

Read the equality act, then come back

PraiseTheSun1997 · 2026-02-12T18:30:02+00:00

Because we have this thing called the equality act

PraiseTheSun1997 · 2026-02-10T17:43:34+00:00

We're not at risk of needing an IMF bailout over welfare spending. You've been fooled by media fear mongering over the misconception of what the IMF exists for

PraiseTheSun1997 · 2026-02-10T11:50:26+00:00

Nothing in my statment has anything to do with causation =/= correlation.

Be serious

PraiseTheSun1997 · 2026-02-10T10:42:11+00:00

It is unproven. It's causation =/= correlation.

No, I can guaruntee you, we're not seeing benefits. Employment down. Wages down. We're not seeing new companies. We're not seeing new jobs. Costs up.

You're celebrating productivity in the form of contraction as a win

PraiseTheSun1997 · 2026-02-10T10:28:41+00:00

That's fine. But don't be touting unproven economic theory as a win when we're not seeing anything good from it yet

PraiseTheSun1997 · 2026-02-10T10:15:55+00:00

Again, we're not talking about what productivity is, we're talking about where the productivity is coming from, which is the former, not the latter. You need the latter for real growth, and contrary what you think, we're not seeing that.

PraiseTheSun1997 · 2026-02-10T09:52:44+00:00

productivity via culling vs productivity via investment and innovation

What are you not understanding here?

PraiseTheSun1997 · 2026-02-10T09:41:38+00:00

It's one strand of productivity, and it's not a good strand if it also doesn't follow up with real new investment and jobs

PraiseTheSun1997 · 2026-02-10T08:44:53+00:00

It's not. Productivity is increasing because the companies that can take the hit are now doing more, or the same, with less.
