I live in a women-only commune — there’s no men and no drama

Article here. Not really a bad idea, esp. for elderly women like these. I've often said that if women REALLY want to live without men around, they should endeavor to build themselves a city for women only. Thus far no one has taken up the challenge. Excerpt:

'The Bird’s Nest is a five-acre women-only commune, and the brainchild of 70-year-old Robyn Yerian.

Dedicated to ’empowering women’ the group ‘encourage, help, console and laugh with each other.’

‘This community is our little utopia,’ says Robyn. ‘We have dogs running around, and get together all the time. We are a bunch of really great friends.’

Robyn’s commune actually started by accident.

In 2002, she started to consider her retirement plans, and realised she’d struggle to support herself from the money she’d saved.

So, instead, she withdrew it, and bought five acres of land, costing her $35,000 (£25,926.41). A further $100,000 – cash from her life savings (£74,075.45) – was spent to make it liveable.'
