A Russian journalist entered the lair of feminists disguised as a woman

To do this, he had to change into a woman's dress, apply makeup and come up with a story about a sex change.
Famous among the feminists of the Northern capital cafe "Simone" is a completely forbidden zone for men. In the evening, the institution works as a cafe, and in the afternoon, until 19.00, it is a purely female coworking. It was this time that Alexey chose in order to find out what is hidden behind the doors of the ladies' bastion, covered with male legends.
In order to protect his curls from angry man-hating women in the event of a fiasco, the journalist contacted the owner of the cafe Leda Garina in advance and clarified whether a transgender person standing in line for a sex change operation could come to Simone. After some hesitation, the hostess allowed me to come, but on the condition that "a transgender person will be read as a woman."
Alexey carefully prepared for the visit — picked up clothes that hide the figure, bought a cute wig and applied makeup. The image of the girl was so natural that even Leda Garina herself, meeting Nimandov on the porch, did not suspect anything. The strange transvestite and the cafe visitor did not see through. "My strange voice and some uncertainty did not confuse anyone," Alexey later said in his material for Fontanka.
Nimandov said that what he saw inside the cafe disappointed him somewhat. It is not known what the "sent Cossack" expected to see in "Simon" — a female resident of evil or the heads of brutal males impaled on stakes. According to Alexey, the feminist orientation of the institution was guessed only by the vulva-shaped chairs and feminitives that were used everywhere inside.
The journalist said that what he saw inside the "Simone" was more like a children's center. The man was calm and comfortable inside, but he had to leave the cafe at 19.00. A meeting of polyamores was to begin in one of the halls and the cafe was closed for the duration of the meeting. Alexey noticed that not only women, but also men came to the meeting — during various events, the entrance for invited representatives of the stronger sex is still allowed.
Cafe "Simone" opened its doors to beautiful ladies in the first days of February 2019. The initiators of the appearance of this institution were the feminist group "Eve's Ribs". This is the first cafe in St. Petersburg of the so-called male-free format (without men), in which they can enter only by special invitation.
By the way, Alexey managed to accomplish alone what Senator Vitaly Milonov had previously been unable to do. The policy, despite the "support group" and assertiveness, was not missed in the cafe.
