If they can't go swimming with non-moslems, or men (or whatever) present,
that's their choice, and frankly it's just hard luck.
Whereas if someone else is forbidden from using the facility, that's some
bureaucratic jobsworth's choice.
The silly mares could solve the problem themselves by checking which century
it is and acting accordingly.

So what? It's still a different rule, so it still constitutes preferential
treatment.
