My point stands. It's a place of cultural and religious significance. It's interesting. It's probably beautiful or someshit too. Whether or not they can go on the land isn't the point; the point is that they have legitimate reasons for desiring to do so. As the previous guy said
If they're not devout, that raises the question what the fuck are they doing there. Allowing women to "own deh monks" is hardly good policy.
This kind of Manichean dismissal of all other motives is some high-quality siege mentality. It's backwards as fuck.
