A man is suing a London gym for having “female only” hours. The gym offers 442 women-only hours at the gym due to research that shows women feel uncomfortable with how they look at the gym. He said that because there are certain hours that males can’t go, he is arguably paying more for having less access to the gym. Not to mention, he suggested the gym introduce male-only hours to make the policy equal.

Does he have a valid point? Or is he ignoring how women feel at the gym? Luis and Shantell discuss. Let us know what you have to say on our Facebook page at facebook.com/vocalo.

“Just be yourself.” That is great advice, as long as yourself has nine extracurriculars, six leadership positions, three varsity sports, killer SAT scores and two moms,” Suzy Lee Weiss says in her piece from late March titled “To (All) The Schools That Rejected Me”.

She claims it was a satire, but others don’t see it that way. Luis and Shantell break down her argument and the response, and what this means for college admissions today.
