"Women's town" to put men in their place Thu Apr 26, 9:04 AM ET
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.
Meet the Robinsons

Firehouse Dog
Blades of Glory
Are We Done Yet? Grindhouse
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.

| Since nobody replied, I have to say that I think my best friend, if in fact he ever ventured there, might not enjoy it. |

Oh, but he might. If it's the area of China I'm thinking of, and the cultural minority, there's a high degree of sexual freedom.
Oh, and that's pretty much all the men have traditionally done: impregnate.
Not all bad unless you're a person with a brain. Ah, then again, just find yourself a rich woman who'll let you hang around the house all day and use the internet.

| There is at least one ethnic minority in that part of China that still (sometimes) practice matriarchy. They're called the Naxi. I spent a few days in a Naxi village. |

I was thinking that. When you think of being ordered around by a female in a non-belligerent way it may feel kinky:) lol |

Are these women the Chinese equivalent of adjumas? Because I don't really seeing that as being an attraction.
