Oh come on… I remember women-only hours at the University of Toronto gym in the early 1990s. This had nothing to do with Islam (or with any other brand of religious or cultural feminine modesty) and everything to do with protecting women from the phallocratic male gaze. That it happened to coincide with what may be considered a conservative position was embarrassing, but not overly so.
I would wager that the Islamization of Harvard’s gym has less to do with Saudi money and more to do with its Women’s Studies Department.
