https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/women-only-island-finland/index.htmlA bit of a contradiction, if you read all the parts I bolded.
Not everyone is on board with Roth's plans, with some women branding the idea elitist on social media -- a claim Roth rejects.
"The retreat being a female-only space doesn't make it inherently feminist," critic Ruth Pearson, 24, tells CNN Travel. "It is a space created by a rich, white woman for other women like her."
Pearson is concerned by the vetting process and the price tag, which remains TBC, but is likely to be pricey.
"These factors will disproportionately affect people of color, people with disabilities, trans women and those who are gender non-conforming, meaning this island is only for one very narrow type of woman," says Pearson.
Roth disagrees. She says SuperShe welcomes all women, including women from the LGBT community.
According to Roth, the main requirement is the island is "a zone without sɛҳuąƖ tension, meaning you just come and you just want to chill."
She adds: "It's very inclusive too, if you identify yourself as a woman then that's great," she says. "So we're not exclusive."
So she's ok with lesbians and bisɛҳuąƖs being included, who are going to be attracted to the whole group of women. What happened to "no sɛҳuąƖ tension"?
And that's to say nothing of the "gender non-conforming" -- whatever the hell that means.
And again, if a man decided to create an "island for men only" there would be an outcry about sexism. Why the double standard?
Just like with race, I have to say: if there are really no differences, and you really want society to be color-blind, how about you go first? Stop hating "whitey" and stop with all the affirmative action programs which -- far from being color-blind -- actually hyper-focus on skin color?
