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.

This is a good post. I'd invite you to join some fathers forums and talk to the men that are treated differently because they are men. Because they can't afford lawyers so they can afford equality in family court. They get the "responsibility" of paying a large fee monthly but are removed from any responsibility as an actual parent. They see their kids 4 days out of every month. Except when "oops" the ex let the kids have a sleep over that weekend... There is a lot of harm here to children and parents and it's not changing. Watch Divorce Corp for a look into western style family justice. It shows the harm and how there are no actions taken to avoid it. It even shows us countries, like Thor's Iceland, for example, that don't have divorce court and are equal and fair.
