But there are creepy guys at the gym, and unfortunately you have a lot of women who have been victimized by those creepy guys, no matter how few and far between they are. Thus places like Curves exist so those women can feel safe.
If someone is bit by a dog once in their life and is forever anxious around dogs after that event, they aren't saying that all dogs are vicious monsters--they just don't want to put themselves in a situation where they can be faced with that fear again. People are afraid to go into the ocean because they might deal with a shark. No one finds these fears odd, but yet statistics show just how many women deal with harassment and rape, but when women are nervous around men, we're labeled as oversensitive.

Checking out a women in yoga pants at the gym is not creepy unless they harass you. I've been checked out at the gym as well and hit on by women but I'm not building an all man gym.
Have your women gyms I really don't care but don't pretend it's because men can't control themselves.
