"Women's town" to put men in their place

[buksida]

BEIJING (Reuters) - Chinese tourism authorities are seeking investment to build a novel concept attraction -- the world's first "women's town," where men get punished for disobedience, an official said Thursday.

The 2.3-square-km Longshuihu village in the Shuangqiao district of Chongqing municipality, also known as "women's town," was based on the local traditional concept of "women rule and men obey," a tourism official told Reuters.

"Traditional women dominate and men have to be obedient in the areas of Sichuan province and Chongqing, and now we are using it as an idea to attract tourists and boost tourism," the official, surname Li, said by telephone.

The tourism bureau planned to invest between 200 million yuan ($26 million) and 300 million yuan in infrastructure, roads and buildings, Li said.

"We welcome investors from overseas and nationwide to invest in our project," he added.

The motto of the new town would be "women never make mistakes, and men can never refuse women's requests," Chinese media have reported.

When tour groups enter the town, female tourists would play the dominant role when shopping or choosing a place to stay, and a disobedient man would be punished by "kneeling on an uneven board" or washing dishes in restaurant, media reports said.

The project, begun in the end of 2005, was expected to take three to five years to finish.

Well, at least the punishment hasn't reached the stage where something's fed to the ducks, pigs or floated away on a balloon - yet.

We're doing a similar project in Bang Saphan, but equipping women tourists with the more traditional latex outfits and canes.
lol

Sorry China, but the usa has already beaten you to it. The place is called San Francisco. California.

When will men and women start treating ecah other as EQUALS instead of trying to better each other?

[Big Boy]

Probably when women become as good as the men

Seriously, you are of course politically correct, although there is an awful lot of biased views on your thoughts. I believe in the civilised world equality is becoming more the norm, but 3rd world countries still suffer this bias, with women being treated as 2nd class citizens.

Religion also seems to have a part to play, with women being forced to veil their faces etc.

Mrs Sarge is so confident of her position in HER house she doesnt want or need an act of parliament or any pc she is right up there on the pedestal i put her on and i wont let her lower herself to equality sorry

[Randy Cornhole]

Its probably a fact that if women found a way to self procriate then there would be little point of men existing!

[sam]

Rubbish Randy, that would spoil all the fun!
