That said your examples suck for two different reasons: in sports you're talking about different physical levels of ability, ones that would, for better or worse, result in primarily female students losing out on the ability to play or just plain getting hurt if the sports were co-ed. It's a long running debate in fact whether some sports should be co-ed, but rolling your eyes and mocking the concept doesn't make your point it instead makes you look ill-informed.
Secondly, using Glee as any sort of basis for a real life point also fails to make your point, is inherently silly, and is still unrelated to why Canadian universities don't recognize single-sex student organizations.
U of Toronto's policy:
Never mind that sports in Canada are also different than sports in the US, but do keep banging the drum.

I have no idea what Glee has to do with anything, so I'll skip over that.
Your argument is basically that it's not okay to segregate by gender (GLO's), except when it is (sports).
