A California college has banned men from using certain areas in its gyms to make non-binary students and women more comfortable.<\/p>\n
The University of Southern California has adopted a policy suggested by a radical LGBTQ+ activist group to institute the ban, according to the New York Post<\/i><\/a>.<\/p>\n The activist group Student Assembly for Gender Empowerment (SAGE) demanded the new rule for the school\u2019s Lyon Center. SAGE describes itself as a \u201cprogramming assembly and intersectional feminist organization under the student government, committed to uplifting all voices oppressed by the patriarchy.\u201d<\/p>\n Student Mengze Wu praised the move to ban men from certain workout areas on Mondays and Wednesdays as a way to stop the facility from being too \u201cmale-dominated.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cMy past experiences with being in enclosed spaces where it\u2019s very men-dominated have never been super pleasant,\u201d the misandrist student bloviated. \u201cThere tends to be this problem where I don\u2019t get to take up a lot of space unless I really assert myself. And even then, I face a lot of hindrance in feeling completely comfortable.\u201d<\/p>\n Another anti-man student, Jana Alnajjar, complained that she constantly felt she was being \u201cjudged\u201d by the men and claimed she \u201cheard from multiple women and non-binary students who want to be involved in different workout spaces but don\u2019t feel comfortable being at the gym.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWhether it\u2019s being approached regularly or feeling judged, over time that discomfort leads students to stop going to the gym altogether,\u201d Alnajjar added.<\/p>\n Alnajjar also complained that the recent shift away from DEI policies made it harder to get the policy approved by the university.<\/p>\n \u201cBecause of university constraints and current federal restrictions on DEI, there was a lot of back and forth on whether this would even be viable,\u201d she told the Daily Trojan. \u201cHow can we do it and advertise it so students know it\u2019s a space for them, but still open to all?\u201d she exclaimed.<\/p>\n Follow Warner Todd Huston on Facebook at: Facebook.com\/Warner.Todd.Huston<\/a>, Truth Social @WarnerToddHuston<\/a>, or at X\/Twitter @WTHuston<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
