A Silly Idea
The "ladies-only" floor is a silly idea. First, it could be used to exclude men from that insidious female networking. And the special hair dryers? Give me a break! Who wants to pay $30 dollars extra for a hair dryer?
Such segregation could only be justified if they had special security passes or a special security guard in the interests of protecting women from commonly male-perpetrated crimes like rape. Most women already know how to deal with being hit on.
However, this reminds me of a rather scary experience I had staying at a not-so-classy motel in a small town. The motel seemed mostly populated by an oil exploration blue crew of blue collar men.
At two in the morning, I was awakened by hard pounding on my door and a man screaming, "Wanda baby, let me in. I wanna get it on with you." I went to the door and yelled through it that I was not Wanda. There was a pause and the pounding renewed with the man saying, "Well whoever you are, let me in. I wanna come in and get it on with you!"
