David Lloyd sparks equality row by excluding men from spa areas

The exclusive gym group has introduced weekly women-only spa sessions in several of its branches due toย what it described as 'significant feedback' from female members.

I donโ€™t have a gym-mate. Even if I did, what would that have to do with what weโ€™re discussing?

I can quite believe you don't have a mate.

Oh I see, you were calling me 'mate' because you think that's a bit of a 'blokey' thing to say. If you'd put a comma after 'gym', your partial sentence might have made sense. I thought you were referring to a gym-buddy. If you could possibly write in complete sentences, that would help.

I think what you must be saying is that I must be a man, because I don't share your views on sex discrimination against men. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Can you see how illogical and offensive that stance is? It would be like me saying you must be a lesbian because you hate men.

I've copied an pasted the appropriate logical fallacy for you from the BBC's website, to save you having to Google it. Hope this helps.

"Saying someone "must be a man" simply because they disagree with a specific view on feminism is an ad hominem (specifically an ad feminam / circumstantial ad hominem) and a genetic fallacy"

Argumentum ad hominem

That's the general idea, well done. But no, just a polite suggestion in order to assist our communication with each other.

Still it's giving you something to keep you busy on the evenings you can't use the spa.

Lol. A sense of humour is always welcome. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Good luck to you @PastMidnight

You're a funny sort of thing but you've been entertaining.
