The Last "Stronghold of Masculinity"

This is quite an
interesting article here, as it looks at the monastic community of Mount
Athos which is a spiritual retreat for the nearest man, and for a thousand years has banned
women and all images of women from the island. The writer thinks this is woman hating at its
worst, but overlooks the fact that at the start at the article he says this was done in the
name of the Virgin Mary. As Bugs Bunny would say, "what a maroon!"
