The thing is, Harvard is claiming this isn’t political, but the way they have handled it is CLEARLY political.
Harvard could very easily have segregated the gym for 6 hours a week for women, and 6 hours for men. They could have explained the rationale as purely a service to ALL men and women who like to work out in same gender facilities (like Curves). Very few outside the radical feminists would have a problem with this.
But instead Harvard specifically endorsed the religious views of Islam in this matter, while descriminating against men in the same stroke. The money connection is entirely valid in my mind. Unless Harvard felt they needed to make a political statement in favor of Sharia, I don’t see why else they manufactured this scandal in this way.
