Coming from Maine, having female roommates is not unusual (even some public universities have co-ed bathrooms). So after finding an apartment on craigslist and contacting the owner I filled out an online application for the location. I was shocked when Armstrong Property Management (APM) contacted me the next day telling me they could not rent to me because I was a male and the other two roommates were female (keep in mind this was private non-BYU contracted housing). When I confronted APM on gender discrimination and asked if they had any specific policies in place, the girl on the phone uncomfortably laughed and said “discriminate, against men?” Yes, discrimination against men is possible, and gender discrimination in housing is wrong and illegal. As a libertarian I subscribe to a life of “live and let live”.
