I believe that women's only hours at gyms are sexist and shouldn't exist CMV

In specific I attend a university where all students pay athletic fees in exchange for the use of school gym facilities. While I already think that this should be changed to an opt in/out system I am more interested in hearing reasons why women's only hours are defensible. This renders particular pieces of equiptment totally unavailable to male students (as they are only present in specific gyms) for hours during prime times throughout he day. So if one is  paying equal fees to all other students why is one not allowed equal access and how is this a good thing? Doesn't it simply perpetuate sexism? 

EDIT: I appologize for the sentence where I use the term I. I am female and have taken advantage of these hours in the past I merely meant it to be sort of illustrative but it ended up being very unclear.

EDIT2: Hey all this post generated a ton of great discussion and showed me a lot of ways that my view lacked nuance. My view has definitely undergone some substantial change and I'll work on awarding delta's to those arguments. Thanks all!

Well, of course. Ideally, women's only hours shouldn't need to exist; women should be free to go at any hours, without worrying about being ogled or harassed.

But we don't live in that ideal world. Women *do* get ogled and harassed at the gym. So we have to provide them with a way to avoid that. We can't somehow get to the ideal world by ignoring the problem.
