Just because tons of guys do endless bicep curls does not mean that is the best way to go about getting bigger arms. I like the white people smoking example
You can't chalk everything up to being discrimination or chauvinistic. Alot of the times you see trainers having women do much different programs than men is because they don't necessarily know any better. There are lots and lots of trainers that just don't know how to design a good program.
A female might tell a trainer that they want to tone their legs and lose weight, so a trainer (that isn't very good) will have them do light weight for tons of reps and lots of cardio. This doesn't mean the trainer is being chauvinistic or discriminating against her, neither the client or the trainer know any better. I don't think you will find any really good trainers designing drastically different programs for a male vs a female.
