It’s a kindness to try to accommodate other cultures, to compare opening a gym for 6 hours for women only to Jim Crow laws is insulting to people who have suffered through a lot of injustice.
This should not be viewed as an accommodation to just Muslims, it is a start in accomodating religious people. There are modesty rules in Christianity and Judaism as well. Perhaps Orthodox Jewish women and Mormon women can use it as well?
Perhaps Harvard should start men only hours for 6 hours a week, that way Orthodox Jewish men, Mormon men and men that grunt too loudly can join in with the Muslims and work out.
