Government spends millions to develop female specific clinic. How long should this clinic be exclusively for females?

Maybe I don't understand the question, but I am not seeing the problem with there being a clinic that is exclusive to female veterans. What am I missing?

"female only" I read this as "discrimination"

Outstanding idea! A Clinic that makes the family more secure feeling and deals with the exceptional needs of women especially as it relates to pregnancy and other sensitive issues! I full support this!

A female-specific clinic? That's blatant discrimination! Males should also be allowed to go there for their mammograms, pap smears, pregnancy tests, and ob/gyn services.

Discrimination is going to happen regardless. It already exists rather we like it or not via African American history month; National Women's History month; Asian Pacific American Heritage month; Gay Lesbian Pride Month; National Hispanic-Latino Heritage Month; National American Indian Heritage Month, etc.

Where is the Straight White Male Month?

If we want to rid ourselves of discrimination, these things need to disappear. Adding a female only clinic is a step in the wrong direction.
