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.

So, along the same lines, how about you Finn’s creating a boys-only leadership organization. They can learn about scouting. Call it Boy Scouts of Finland.

This sounds like a plot device for a 1980s teen sex comedy.

An executive producer /director was on a field production overseas.

The head person was rumored to be a closet lesbian. Anyway when they arrived, she ordered the PD to carry her luggage.

He told her exactly what she could do and he was off the project as soon as it was over. She made a bunch of empty threats that went nowhere.

Somehow, I doubt the women going there will look like those three.
