Fine, take out the "tantamount to" bit out if you're really going to take the mickey.
The fact is children need to mix freely with both sexes to be able to develop socially and be able to form healthy relationships. This isn't a western concept, its a human concept.
If these parents are unhappy that boys will be passing near to their daughters whilst going in and out the gym, I think its highly unlikely these daughters will be allowed to go out and mix with other children freely, unsupervised. That is exactly what AI campaign about.
