There’s specific exemptions in these laws for clubs. I’m not a lawyer, but from what I’ve read, I think if they were to do the paperwork to set up the room as a women-only club somehow, they’d be in the clear.
That’s a good point I can see why memberships can be exclusive things but making exclusion based on race or sex should be illegal. I hope it sets the precedent.
Super interesting outcome. I wonder if this case is now precedent for women sueing for access to membership at the various men’s clubs?

I think there was something about them being established before the law existed so they were allowed to continue
Or men visiting a Fernwood women’s only gym
