    You will find that it is very difficult for a white straight male to bring a discrimination case against someone.
    There is nothing I can agree more to, than this

    I'm not a big fan of segregation either but there are times it can be liberating for a particular group. I know one man brought a case, and won, against a swimming baths for having a women's only session. He gained a few extra hours in week in which he could swim but the local muslim women (and there are a lot of them) felt unable to swim there again at all.

    The thing is that a democracy means that it is that minorities have to addapt ot majorities, not hte other way round. I was not satisfied with my home country so i came to live in to UK. And therefore I comply with a local tradiotions. I can come out on the streets and tell everyone that my religion(than I can just make up the name of it such as Mumba Jumba) requeres everyone to give me £100 as soon as they see me. So the solution for a muslim women there would be to build their own swimming pool by their house and swim in it, however this is Not an Islamic country but Christian and therefore you can only do all those religious things as far as they don'y clash with the majorities interests. When I went to Egypt, I've seen many muslim women swimming fully clothed in the swimming pool. I was annoying me a lot, dur to hygienic reasons , but I did not complaint to anyone, as it was an Islamic country and therefore the minority(me) had to addopt to the majority, not the vice versa

    Wouldn't mind women only carriages on the underground where blokes don't stop at eyeing up but frequently indulge in groping women or shoving a stiff male member up against their backsides.

    As in regards to a toilet sign not being on the men's toilet, that there is a female cleaner, I don't think that is a problem at all. Quit a few times I have been in the situation of urinating in a public Gent's toilet and a female cleaner coming inside. And gues what....?
    It did not bother me at all, as a quality of a urinating process was not effected at all. And don't try to write that I migh be one of those people who would enjoy this kind of episode. I did not enjoy it, I just didn't care.

    Alos if any gay men wanted to see my member, whilst urinating, that would not bother me at all, either!!!

    However, I do care that as a result of having no access to a female only accomodation adverts, I am limited in joice, which is very likely to result in me getting eithe a lower quality acommodation for a same price as a female-only one, and therefore having to suffer from a lack of comfort in the next at least 6 months, or having to pay a higher rental price, which will again effect my quality of life as for a saved money I could've gone for an extra holiday for example.

    i think if you have a house/flat to rent out why shouldnt you say who or what lives in it i have seen plenty of posts that say
    NO DSS
    NO PETS
    NO SMOKERS
    AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST NO CHILDREN
    You can put any limitations you like on the house you are renting out, even say that you won't rent out to Man City supporters or people called Dave - the only restriction is that you can't discriminate based on one of the protected categories:
    Age
    Sex
    Sexual orientation
    Gender reassignment
    Marital/civil partnership status
    Disability
    Pregnancy/maternity
    Race (including color, nationality, ethnic origin)
    Religion or belief

    Yes. I now have another reason to try and avoid rush hour.

    At first I thought it was an accident and discreetly turned my body away. He moved with me. I got off at the next station, stood next to a bunch of women and waited for the next train instead...

    You really do see the best and the worst of men in London.
