So what happens when his wife goes for her driving test… if she refuses to be tested by a male tester and the DSA complies he could sue them for discrimination!

Its really horrible when religious people chose only to acept those aspects on the law that fits with their personal worldview. What right do they have to practice their own lifestyle choices if they will not allow others their own? They are clearly stuck in the medievial mindset. This should not surprise us about fundamentalists of any colour. At least by causing this sort of incident their religion will be shown to the thinking person to be what it is.

On a completely different note, the notion of a female only driving school seems fundamentally discriminatory to me! Would we be so happy to feel this way about an all male driving school? Wouldn’t that be thought of as discrimatory in employment terms?

You seem to be equating a means with motive and presuming guilt. The paranoid ravings of the husband in this instance not withstanding, having a penis does not equal attraction to the man’s wife. Likewise, not having a penis does not equal a lack of attraction for his wife. And, penises are not required to have sexual relations with a woman.

The husband should drop his ridiculous, paranoid lawsuit.

“Here we accept everyone. We do not discriminate. Life is too short.”

Well, actually that is false. They do discriminate. That is the basis of their business, hiring only women (whether genetically or legally female).

While I feel the man who instigated the lawsuit is is the wrong, I’m not sure if one should even have “women only” driving instructors in the first place. But, I also don’t know of the intricacies of UK discrimination laws.
