No it isn't because it's not about you. If I am harmed constantly and I try to go somewhere to avoid that harm, it's about me, my experience, my being harmed, and my actions to avoid being harm.
Remember we're only talking about a women's only gym, no one is proposing segregation of genders or something.

It is just as divisive. And just as wrong.

Of course it is different. Again the law doesn't deal in black and white, it considers many different factors, and degree is important. A better analogy to yours would be men being pulled off the street for random semen tests to see if it matches any rape cases.
Justifiable discrimination is justifiable when the harm from the discrimination is far outweighted by the prevention of harm otherwise. We're talking about women's gyms, the harm to men is they have to go to another gym, and there's lots of gyms, the harm is small.
If you disagree with the assessment

Equality for you. Equality for others is just as important. As I said if you want equality, worry about the problem, not the symptom.

Because I'm not discussing that, I'm discussing something else. The road you seem to be going down is a fallacy, consider a different road.
