I think he was taking your point to a rediculous extreme because it seemed rediculous to him.
We are talking about weather or not gender exclusive clubs and services are OK. Some of us brought light to the fact that there is a massive double standard in this area.
You started posting about weather or not women are at greater risk of being assault in coed gyms. Not on topic, you are probably right that getting rid of all the men everywhere will probably eliminate 95% of sexual assaults, but it seems to me that just isn't a realistic option.
What would retort have been if I had instead jokingly said, thank god my 7 year son can now join the Brownies, or a field hockey team. Would he have posed this great risk of violence to the girls. I know if your daughter wanted to join the Scouts or a boys hockey team there would be no problem.
There is clearly a double standard here the is relevant to the topic.
