    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....

    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?

    But introduce just one man and they'll probably reunite quickly enough.

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