    I don't know if I'd like to live in a city full of ladies, imagine the nightmare it'd be when their periods synced up every month
    http://www.thejournal.ie/saudi-arabia-plans-women-only-city-556578-Aug2012/

    although I suppose there'd be benefits too, there'd always be bog-roll, less car accidents too.

    What pros and cons of a women only city can ye think of?

    ...money to be made in man-trafficking.....

    So misleading. The article name, I mean:
    In a carefully worded statement, developer Mondon suggested the city, Al-Asha,could provide job opportunities for both women and men, but added that it would be distinguished from other cities by “allocating sections equipped for women workers in environment and working conditions consistent with the privacy of women according to Islamic guidelines and regulations.”

    That seems like an extreme 'solution'.

    If you can't post without being offensive/sexist etc. Don't post.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,758 ✭✭✭✭TeddyTedson


    I personally think women make much better politicians because they don't let ego get in the way as such. That's probably positive sexism but that's how I feel.
    Women are not capable of spectacularly ****ing things up the way men are!

    Tough to avoid in this thread, tbh.

    Yes, Saudi is well known for how well its female politicians are integrated into the system.

    Did you read the OP teddy?

    Yeah Margaret Thatcher didn't have an ego problem at all.

    I did but then I also said a few things quietly in my head that nobody seems to have heard...
    Thatcher was not a woman for a start. Possibly female, but most definitely not a woman, that's for sure.
    NOT YET!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,338 ✭✭✭Archeron


    it will most likely smell nice, less farting.

    "Nurturing" and "warmth" - two words that automatically pop into ones head when that name comes up.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 827 ✭✭✭WumBuster


    The place would definitely be cleaner and smell better. The streets would be safe and hardly any crime. And plus if you're the only man in the city, you'd eh.. be getting a lot of it id imagine..and if you're not you might as well give up on yourself

    I'm not sure to be honest but rules are made to be broken


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,512 ✭✭✭Ellis Dee


    Not that I'd expect many progressive innovations from a country that is ruled by some 4,000 male members of an unelected royal family and cursed with a particularly virulent form of religious mania, and which doesn't even pretend to be democratic - unlike North Korea, which at least has a make-believe, rubber stamp parliament - but this is definitely a retrograde step.:rolleyes:

    It only reinforces the special - unequal - status of women in Saudi and will probably further delay progress towards what must be the ultimate objective: complete gender equality.;);)

    “Some private companies are stipulating conditions such as a woman shall be recruited only if she is single or not pregnant if married,”
    The treatment of women is just gob smackingly disgraceful.

    It's not really the companies fault.
    Don't women that are married there usually stay at home?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,933 ✭✭✭holystungun9


    Imagine visiting there on a rainy day. The number of times I have nearly had my eye taken out by an umbrella is ridiculous. It seems my eyeballs are the perfect height for getting whipped out by a women (that's not even a generalisation, it's never a guy).


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,001 ✭✭✭recylingbin


    I can only imagine the state the bathrooms would be in.
    Wimmin - dirty bitxhez.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 725 ✭✭✭Varied


    At least the city would smell nice.

    Bitching would be through the roof though.

    The cruelest thing to women has often been other women, in my experience. Came as rather a shock, truth be told.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,033 ✭✭✭✭Richard Hillman


    There would be a lot of scowling and dirty looks. In fact i would say women would evolve into having a permanent scowl on their faces
