Danish hotel flouts the law, reserves floor for women

[Swede]

A Copenhagen hotel will continue reserving a whole floor for women, despite a recent ruling that doing so is discriminatory and illegal, the hotel director said Tuesday.

Last May, the Bella Sky Hotel in central Copenhagen opened a floor dubbed the Bella Donna with 20 specially decorated rooms for women, and no men allowed.

"The only man who can access this floor will be a fireman in the case of fire," hotel chief Anders Dueland told AFP.

2. Reverse sexism is o-kay! n/t

3. It's worse than reverse sexism. What happens to a woman who doesn't

want to stay on that floor? Is she "asking for trouble?"

If something happens to her, is it her fault for not being on the "correct" floor?

If she doesn't stay on that floor, will men assume that she wants "attention?" (and by attention, I mean harassment)?

4. It would be better if they could ensure the security of *all* women in the hotel (nt)
