Hotels in Turkey are banning men from staying without women because "they're harassing girls to try and hook up with"

i’m from north africa and this kind of happens here especially with cafés. a lot of time, these places don’t let in single men in groups unless they’re accompanied by women because it’s assumed they’re only there to “shoot their shot” at best. it’s not even for conservative reasons because you see that in upscale nightclubs too. places that have armies of single men in them are perceived as “low class” and deter female customers which is not good optics if you want your business to do well and have a good reputation.

Bold of you to assume having women would stop those men from harassing girls 🤷🏻‍♀️

Lol, I'm glad they are punishing the men this time instead of telling women they can't stay alone.

"It normalizes the idea that single men are predatory, or worse, suggests that such men are meant to be predatory in situations where they can get away with it."

ding ding ding, we have a winner.

There's still so many places women are not allowed today. Namely religious spaces. Nobody bats an eye. Women in the past have been banned from universities and many other public spheres. In some countries women are still banned from public spaces. Men can dish it but they can't take it. Even though regulating them is for legitimate reasons like protecting women from their sexual harassment.

For all the scrotes complaining about how uNfAiR and dIsCrImInItOrY this is, it’s exactly like the female-only cars on the train. Women aren’t able to safely stay anywhere else because of the way men behave, so all hotels have effectively become “men only”. This hotel decided to offer an option for women and couples who feel uncomfortable staying in ordinary hotels.

Finally, that wasn't so difficult now was it

This is exactly what they should be doing. Ban the problematic men so women can live our lives while being good people and not pieces of shit like these creeps.

This is generally the rule at sex clubs. (I used to walk by one all the time and there’d always be guys hanging around outside trying to get a woman to go in with them because they were allowed otherwise). Kind of appropriate since men treat the world like their own wannabe orgy.

Someone else added: "It normalizes the idea that single men are predatory, or worse, suggests that such men are meant to be predatory in situations where they can get away with it."

Yes, that is exactly it and it's true

The reverse guardianship

"But Women are just as bad as Men" /s

As someone who grew up there, I remember how bars and clubs used to have a one guy-one woman rule to prevent this very thing.

Feminineprincess · 2021-09-09T17:22:40+00:00

This is what I call progress

“It normalizes the idea that single men are predatory, or worse, suggests that such men are meant to be predatory in situations where they can get away with it."

Tell me you’re a NVM without saying you’re a NVM.

Every HVM I know, and a few that fall a bit short, would complain, “Why do some men have to ruin it for the rest of us?!”

And yes, NVM I quoted, it is that bad. Just because you think you don’t engage in this problem doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

Thanks, it wasn’t that hard

PhilosopherStoned12 · 2021-09-09T17:50:49+00:00

Love this. Glad to know that men are being pulled up and restricted from having the opportunity to harass women.
No woman on holiday should have to deal with unpleasant, unwelcome harassment.

Great policy. Good work Turkish hotels!

discoveringliberty · 2021-09-09T17:29:16+00:00

Ooh, I know where I'm going on my next vacation

CroneRaisedMaiden · 2021-09-09T22:10:13+00:00

I’m sketch about traveling by myself, but I’d 100% go here if this is legit

CoffeeAndCorpses · 2021-09-09T22:55:09+00:00

Apparently a lot of swingers' clubs have this policy too, but I doubt it really helps.

ceramicunicorn · 2021-09-10T01:03:34+00:00

Haha tell us they require chaperones to be in public without telling us they require chaperones to be in public.

laviyu · 2021-09-09T18:09:11+00:00

My first day in Istanbul I went out for a walk. My hotel had two different restaurants next to it with two guys standing at the front. They each went straight to me, asking where I’m from and saying I could come and get free tea and coffee. I said no and walked away.

When I came back 30 minutes later, I purposely walked fast and away from them to go back to the hotel. They shouted at each other that the nice lady is back and should get coffee with them. I felt so uncomfortable and there were other people on the street too.

Beautiful.🥂 Although, ALSO very sad and hilarious, too.

However, I’d wager the only reason why they are doing/enforcing that, is because it’s cutting into their business/profit. NOT solely to benefit women. If it didn’t affect business, I don’t know if they’d give a shit. Using this reasoning will attract women/more business and make them appear better than they are. Not as “kind” as one might perceive.

It’s a step in the right direction, though. Even if it’s not really to entirely benefit women, at least women will benefit from it.🤷🏼‍♀️

Looks like its time to bump Turkey up on my travel list!

DontAskTwice-A-Roni · 2021-09-09T17:16:48+00:00

But they swear we’re “MiSanDriC BiGoTs” for wanting single sex spaces.
