Is this an example of gender discrimination?

I try to go to the gym three times a week. It is one of those 24 hour companies and I find it convenient to go in the morning.

For the past month or so, they have been repairing the locker rooms. It is a bit of an inconvenience. There are fewer lockers available and fewer showers. The bathroom is not ready and you have to use a portapotty outside the back of the gym.

I was starting to wonder when the work would be complete, and I got an indication this morning. There were signs saying that the men’s and women’s locker rooms were switched. What this means is that the women did not have to go through any of this. No work was done on their room, and now that the work has been completed on the men’s room, the women can use it until the work is complete on their room.

Unfair! Why couldn’t both rooms have been repaired simultaneously? I know this does not rise to a really serious level, but try to imagine how the women would have reacted if the situation had been reversed.
