The fact that in the US, most women have abandoned modesty, does not make modesty bad. As a man who does not want to be around half-naked women (except the one I’m married to), I avoid shopping malls. I do as much shopping online as possible. I don’t watch television and I don’t go to sports events. I applaud Moslem women’s modesty and determination to not be sex objects.

That being said, nobody is noticing the obvious about why Harvard is willing to fire a president one year for suggesting that boys and girls are different and then to introduce gender-segregated exercise facilities the next.

I would bet that some Moslem donor, (probably Saudi) made a series of large multi-year donations on the condition that Harvard change the rules for the gym.
