I think that 1 and 2 are also legal in France and I see no real reason why this should be illegal (you are free to make a club with whatever stupid rule you want and I am free not going into your stupid club), but 3 isn't legal here, we have "non assistance a personne en danger": we can be charged for not helping someone in danger, this is rarely enforced but the law is there.

(2) isn't legal in France either, and gets taken seriously. You'll probably be able to find examples of (1); but the “private club” defence wouldn't hold for commercial operations and is just there to discourage complaints. As far as most scouting activities splitting children by gender, local organisations do accept both genders and give them equal treatment. This is unlike the US situation where there are gender-specific institutions. </sidebar>

Really ? there is no women-only gyms ? or do you mean they are 'illegal' ?
