General Discussion

This article is in today's Guardian.

thought it might lead to an interesting debate..........

eg if a speaker demanded, because of his/her religious beliefs, that any audience they addressed should be segregated and that the segregation should be determined by race/colour of skin - there would be outrage in this country. But it seems that if a speaker demands that any audience they address should be segregated according to gender than that is okay (provided that the women are not put at the back). That okay then?      

Is this an okay subject to debate?

Rather debate  which is the best pub in Dawlish.

@Lynne, Please feel free to debate any subject. I didn't remove Paul's thread because of the subject matter, but because of Paul's comments. It would be the same, for example, if you had posted the links you have with racist comments, but you haven't.
