Is it me, or does the inconsistency with this battle of the sexes seem to be taking the piss.
If something is aimed at male only then the feminists are up in arms but yet here we are with ideas of excluding males from their own recreational activities.
The person mentions she is open to men eventually being considered but surely this is a form of discrimination against men?
Almost everyday there are news articles which debates the difference in salaries between men and women and women deserve to be paid the same as men but surely the powers that be must raise their eyebrows to this type of carry on as well?

But once the island is officially ready for visitors, women "can expect activities such as yoga, meditation, healthy eating, cooking classes, fitness classes, and much more,"

Yeah, we're not missing out on much.

The funny thing about that quote is that they can do this without going to an island which I'm going to bet isn't cheap.

The article doesn't mention the penalty for men if they go to this island...

Laughable tbh and I imagine it's somewhat a bit bull****tery.

Isn't this a female only island?

The Finnish are waaaaay too late to the party.

but i thought men and women were exactly the same and any differences were just social constructs?

I'm fully behind this. We women need a place to call our own. I'll definitely head over to help us settle in.

Most of them will be dying for a bit of rock hard cock after a week or two. Specially if they’ve had a few glasses of wine. Can’t see this working. Unless they are all carpet lickers....

Lorelli!

It says they may allow male guests in the future.

Reminds me of Carry On Up The Jungle (which I vaguely remember and is the only Carry On I've ever seen cause I hate them) They think they're lucky when they encounter a tribe consisting only of women but soon realise its not so great and they are to be kept as slaves for mating and not allowed to ever leave!

Unfortunately flutes like Justin Trudeau with his 'peoplekind' comments probably think it's a great idea.

Perfect example of one of those things that if a man said it would be rounded on. :P

I think it's pretty disgraceful that they are offering activities that reinforce stereotypes that women like things like yoga, meditation, healthy eating, cooking classes & fitness classes.

Oh poor men. Seriously you have to go to the arctic circle to find an example of a woman-only resort when in this country we still have men-only golf courses. Buck up.

You have to realise that modern feminism is not about equality. It is about reversing the situation with men. Revenge in other words. Most woman don't subscribe to such extremism but the media love it and encourage it for their own reasons. Wonder what Una Mullaly would think of the island idea.

Proper order too. Nothing stop some lady golfers creating their own club. Don’t see me trying to rock up to one of those curves gyms in me trackies looking to join a spin class.

Sure hard can it be? Buy a few hundred acres, get it zoned, then put in the drainage, landscaping, the seeding, bung in a million for a modest clubhouse. What's the problem with these lazy broads?

Maybe if we could come to some deal with Ryan Air they might bring that Lady with the 'Emotional Peacock' over to them , seem like the place for her.

The irony of complaining about a woman-only resort in what appears to be a hermetically sealed echo chamber of discontented male voices...

They can play the course (pay green fees) and avail of the club's facilities, they're just not eligible to become members.

Private clubs can decide who they admit as members.

O when in this country we still have men-only golf courses.

there are no "men only golf courses" in this country

While there are a couple of Clubs where only men can be "members" of the club (which I don't agree with) women can still play on those courses

Apologies horse, meant nothing derogatory by it. Very partial to a bout of carpet licking myself. I’m like a thirsty calf drinking from a bucket, specially if the bird has a nice and tidy bosca on her. :cool:

And if they barred members on the basis of their religion or race, is that OK? Sure what harm? Can't the jews and the blacks avail of the clubs facilities?

Mmm on reflection I've decided there are worse fates one can meet in the jungle than this. :P

And you agree with that? Or to ask the question more specifically do you agree with single gender facilities, disagree with it or make your decision based on which gender is catered for?

Private Club, Private Rules, they can't be coerced into accepting members, they decide.

The rule in this instance is that only men can become full members, I'm not aware of any restrictions against Jewish or Black males.

Should men take court action against the likes of the ICA or Curves?

Counterproductive. I've been trying to talk the husband into getting a Spa treatment and start some yoga as I think it would do him the world of good, and now this crowd goes and shouts to the world that these things are women-only??

Wait, 1) I think you are misinterpreting complaining with bonafide hypocrisy. Remember also the just for woman car insurance? Isn't that also discrimination?
and your 2nd point... men are barred from that island so I fail to see the relevance of your 2nd post? Unless of course you are saying it's not ok to bar a specific gender from open spaces...

There's a sort of undertone here that makes me think its about a bit more than spas and yoga though.....

"But for now, a representative for SuperShe told The Independent: "Women need time to spend with other women" where they can "nurture each other's dreams and desires."

It's about getting him to do some sort of exercise, and with him having a bad heart and yoga being gentle... his argument back is that that's for little girls, though I do suspect that what he's really saying is that it's not for lazy b*stards like him

Seriously, though, I honestly don't see the point in that. There's nothing at all stopping women spending time with other women. If anything, there's too much of it. There's nowhere near enough good, mixed company, instead we have the polarised conversation topics of celebs/fashion/makeup and GAA/cars.
