I just heard on the radio that there is going to be a female only service. Unfortunately I didn't catch the beginning of the show so I cannot say for sure what the business is but it sounded like an Uber/Lyft type service. I guess the drivers would all be female and only pick up females. The host then asked people to call in to discuss if this is fair.
So I'll ask the same question as the host - is this fair?
This also brought back the memory of being up north on vacation. Went to the local Loblaws which had a Women-only Goodlife and when I asked, was told the closest co-ed location was very far away.
I used to go to a Goodlife with a female-only area that was separate and blocked off and had no issue with this given the majority of the gym was coed and there (probably) wasn't anything there that wasn't available in the co-ed section. And I can understand a service like Uber adding the option of choosing a female driver if the customer is female. But isn't a service that hires only females and services females discriminating against males and would therefore be illegal?
