It looks like Harvard is getting with the program to Islamize America. Or at least to defer to Muslim exceptionalism.
The decision to have "limited" hours for "women only" in a Harvard gym, only shows how limited liberal commitment is to American integration or (Allah forbid) to assimilation. One has to wonder, would they have done this for equally retrograde Orthodox Jewish girls?
Apparently, it never occurred to the university that, if "covered" Muslim girls don't want to expose their precious bodies to the gaze of men, they could join one of the private all-woman gyms that exist all over the country - most certainly in feminist-sensitive MA. But, of course, that would not have demonstrated Harvard's "sensitivity" to this "identity group".
Better to compromise the ideals of an integrated, open, society than to hurt the sensitive feelings of future mothers of Muslim Jihadists.

Oh, please, Harvard, spare us the righteous political correctness. Enlightened Westerners rant without compunction about the Islamic world’s backward treatment of women. Yet Harvard expects its male population to be respectful of Islamic women’s medieval notions about men? Would a fair-minded person sense a double standard here? The question scarcely survives its statement.
It is unfathomable why parents of young Harvard men who are paying staggering tuition would allow their sons to be treated as second class citizens. News flash to Harvard: the young men you are banning are the customer.
If a small group of Catholic men sought, in good faith, to ban women from the gym for similar periods of time because their skimpy outfits had become near occasions of sin for them, we all know damn well what Harvard’s response would be. Why is this different? We all know why. The “protected class” is the right sex and the right religion.
