Women to rule new town
April 21, 2007 - 04:32 PM

Can you believe this?
I think that our role as women should be respected and we should certainly be treated as equal. By creating this kind of town the mysogynistic ways and all the equality we wish will be going down the drain. Women punishing men? Sounds fun but it´s fighting fire with fire and stupid. What do you think?


Women to rule new town

China is to create the world's first 'Woman Town' where women make all the decisions and disobedient men face punishments.

Chongqing is to convert its Shuangqiao district into Woman Town, covering 2.3 square km, reports Chongqing Morning News.

The slogan: "A woman never makes a mistake. A man can never reject a woman's request" will be carved into the town gates.

"Construction will take around two years, and the place will become a very good destination for entertainment and relaxation," says Li Jigang, director of Shuangqiao district tourism bureau.

"In any tour group entering this town, female members would play the deciding role, concerning shopping and other items of the itinerary.

"We are drafting a township law, which stipulates clearly how men should be punished and for what. A disobedient man will be punished by kneeling on an uneven wooden board or by washing dishes in a restaurant."

I read this news a while ago. What amused me even more was the reaction from several people, most of whom immediately started waxing eloquent about how a female run environment would be infinitely safer and better.

Personally, I think it is extremely naive to assume that women are going to be less violent, more just and more "gentle" than men. In fact this very assumption reinforces an almost sexist unidimensional view of women, implying that women are just the softer, fairer sex. As a woman I can assure you that women can be as aggressive and violent as men. After all, isn't it a psychological fact that females use a more harmful form of aggression - relational aggression? (Which some investigators feel, starts as early as age 3).

It is true that we see evidence of male aggression more than female aggression. But that may also be due to the fact that women have been oppressed for centuries and still are. Were women around the world given the same freedom as men are, I do not doubt that they would be equally, if not more violent than men. After all when the oppressed come into power they are often more oppressive than their former oppressors.

That said and done, this town seems an interesting and novel idea. But let's not make it into an excuse for bursting into paeans for feminism. It is simply a clever tourist attraction. Nothing more, and nothing less.
