I've heard that in some countries, there is the unspoken rule that females are not allowed to be inside the unfinished tunnels. I heard it originated from a Greek Myth. Does anyone know the story and if what countries are like that? Thx
I too have never heard of this misogynistic superstition in North America.
Perhaps it is related to the legend of the Labyrinth? Didn't Theseus have to save a "damsel in distress" in the Labyrinth (which could be considered "tunnels"). It's probably a stretch though.
Women "workers" are not allowed underground in Indonesia. Technical Experts for short duration, I am led to believe are permitted. However, as sorry as I am say, one would have to weigh the 'hassle' factor.
