No men allowed in milk factory

Only women will work at a newly built milk- and milk-products factory in the eastern province of Erzurum. The factory, which will focus on organic products, will export its products to Europe. The Eastern Anatolia Agricultural Producers Union, or DATÜB, built the facility for 1.5 million Turkish Liras. According to DATÜB Chairman Nazmi Ilýcalý, the factory, located near the town of Aziziye, will produce 20 million liras worth of products every year. Ilýcalý said the factory was built in accordance with European Union norms. “We registered all the cows as certified by a control company and then established 15 milk production centers in nearby villages,” he said. The milk collected at the centers will be used to produce organic butter and various types of cheese. Nineteen women underwent a three-month course on organic milk production, Ilýcalý said, adding, “We know that women are more hygienic and careful, and that’s why we decided to employ them.” Added Utkum Organic Milk Products Factory Manager Ayþe Baþaktekin: “Unfortunately, women are the most ignored section of society in the east and the southeast of the country.” Baþaktekin, who will head the women’s-only factory, said her employees’ husbands and fathers had acquiesced to sending their wives and daughters off to the factory to work. Hülya Adanalý, 21, who will be one of the employees, said she was very excited to work for the first time in her life. “We will get minimum wage and be insured,” she said. “It is very nice to know that we will be able to stand on our two feet.”

See, women are better!

If someone opened a factory where only men could work, it would be rightfully denounced as something unfair, unequal and whatnot, but if it´s a factory where only women can work, the feminists call it "progressive"...and certainly would NOT complain about people being discriminated.

 Dangerous ideas to float on here. 

That´s pretty sexist...unless it´s not really a milk factory but an erotic massage facility

.....it is a fact that women are much more hygienic than men though

It is hard for me to believe that this is a sexist project, because women, somewhere in Erzunum have probably no political power to be able to carry out a project that is directly against the benefits of the power (men). Therefore, I think that this funny reason, that "women are more hygenic that men", could be just a face for a project that intends to employ the women of the region. If you say that this is for everybody, then in the traditional families, the women will either not be allowed to go to work, or "naturally", it will be the man who will get the job first. There will also be employment discrimination to employ men over women, because they may be suspecting that the women will not devote themselves completely to their jobs, because they also have the house and children to take care of (that their husbands don´t raise a finger to help with).

So it sounds like a good project that could potentially help in changing the mentality of "women should stay at home and raise children", which leaves women totally at the mercy of men and with no political and financial power.

 My idea too!

eh, they call themselves "feminists" and you expect them not to be sexist? that`s contradicting

ignorance and asshole-ness just makes a nasty combination

in your case?
