Finland's 'Female-Only' Island Slated to Open Amid Controversy
Sputnik News ^ | 5/11/2018 | Staff

Advertised as a "rejuvenating and a safe space where women can reinvent themselves and their desires," an island off the coast of Raasepori in southern Finland is being touted as an all-inclusive, testosterone-free luxury resort. According to the Supershe website, the island can accommodate ten women in four newly-renovated cabins.

German-American entrepreneur Kristina Roth, the driving force behind the project, has dispelled the contradictory reports that have come out recently about the businesswoman allegedly abandoning her cause. In an interview with Finnish national broadcaster Yle, she set the record straight by claiming that the resort will open its doors on June 23, "as planned."

While calling herself a "smart business-person, who always has a plan B," Roth admitted scrapping plans for further investments in Finland, voicing her frustration over the difficult time she's had as an entrepreneur in Finland, which she dubbed a "negative country that sucks energy and money."

Spending time in a "man-free" milieu is an expensive treat, as Benny Smeds has put the starting price for a week's stay at "several thousand euros." The price, however, includes food, service and even tailor-made programs.

“an all-inclusive, testosterone-free luxury resort.”

“Testosterone-free” doesn’t mean there won’t be some toys and devices available for their individual and mutual pleasure-seeking activities, and some of those toys and devices will probably closely resemble the reproductive organ(s) of the men they love to hate.

What happens when a man claims to be transitioning. Do they let the letcher in?

I sure hope they don’t discriminate against those “transitioning” males.

Is it just me, or does Grant Fuhr look whiter than he used to?
