China to build "Woman Town" where disobedient men are punished

Absolutely bizzare. Excerpt:
The slogan: "A woman never makes a mistake. A man can never reject a woman's request" will be carved into the town gates.

They're billing it as a tourist destination...
It's sure to make billions off Westerners
an interesting idea
Let's dump our feminazis there. It would be interesting to see how long that lasts without mens' (or government) aid.
Notice that this is done in an (officially) communist country.
It is recieving government aid... the government is building it
Plus, they have set up the "laws" in advance before a single woman ever takes up residence there.
It's not a real female run society, it's just a Chinese attempt to milk western women of the 80% or so of the total purchasing power that they control in Western countries. It's going to be 2.3Km of nail salons, spas, shoe, clothes and accessory stores.
The catch is the men have to come shopping with the women gleefully or face public humiliation.
It's nothing more then a man-hating tourist trap. It's nowhere near a real matriarchy because women aren't really in control, they just have the illusion of power but are really powerless because they aren't setting this up or paying for it. The opposite of Western societies where women have absolute power but the illusion of oppression.
But it'll still attract Western Women by the boat and plane load and all those Western dollars that this is really all about.
Dominatrix Village To Go?
I smell a Chinese take-off (take out?)on the successful Thailand sex trade here --
The media spin about dominant women humiliating subservient men has all the earmarks of a dominatrix-fantasy trip for those so inclined.
With the divorce rate skyrocketing in China, there should be a growing clientele of men familiar with the delights of humiliation.
They can go to Woman Town to revisit what their former marriages were like...
What, without a Hooters on site?

And they think men are now nothing but liars. They ain't seen nothing yet.

In the remote and underdevelped town, a majority of men labor in nearby cities to make a living for the whole year, leaving women at home, which becomes advantageous to build a women themeland.

Tong Jiuying, the future director of the women's kingdom, said she hoped tourists would have fun playing the game of feminism.
Sounds like feminist justice to me. Men out working, women getting the perks. At least they admit feminism is a game, though.
