Reply #3: I'm just going to mind my own business

[Zensea]

This place has been like this for a thousand years.
What business is it of mine or yours?

The MONASTIC republic.
"Mount Athos is the spiritual center of the Eastern Orthodox world. Visitors need not be Orthodox themselves, but having religious or spiritual purposes in mind will help them get in."
Might as well complain about convents not letting men in.
Despite, as it says in the article --
"The exclusion of women is, naturally, controversial. The European Parliament has endorsed a report containing a paragraph that suggests this is a violation of women's rights. The Greek government has responded that the special status of Mount Athos was recognized in conjunction with the treaty by which Greece joined the European Union in the first place."
I'm still inclined to worry about other things.
Hey, I've got an idea.
Why don't we keep our noses out of the affairs of places that don't look like they're hurting anybody particularly?
