Brooklyn Pool, Gender Discrimination and Hasidic Customs

The New York City Parks Department is reviewing its policy of allowing women-only swimming hours at a Brooklyn pool after the Commission on Human Rights labeled it discriminatory against men. The Hasidic community in Williamsburg argues the hours are necessary for religious modesty. The hosts compare this to "Ladies' Nights" at bars, which they have long argued are a form of accepted gender discrimination.
