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

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

And how is that different from any other marriage?
Edit: Beat to the punch!

Novel concept, but has that weird dominatrix, fetish undertone to it.
What's next? "Fiftiestown", where men are always right and the women are subservient and only cook, clean and do their marital requirements? or "Euro Women's Town" based in Amsterdam or Berlin?
Like Hesla said, this is something one would expect from the Japanese.

I hate to ask the obvious question but here goes anyways.
WHY?
What is it that they expect to achieve from building this city? Its the dumbest thing I've heard all day.

If there was a city filled only with very attractive women the motto would pretty much remain the same

So I guess that explains why Rosie O'Donnell is leaving the View.

Actually that would be interesting. I think it would almost be the opposite because then every girl would be on a level playing field and would have to do something out of the ordinary to get the guys attention...
that or they would all become lesbians..

Well, I think it's safe to say the girls who can convince their men to go to this place for a holiday basically wear the pants in the relationship anyways. What a stupid idea...I think I'll go to Disneyland instead.
