A more credible article about Noiva do Cordeiro, near Belo Vale, Minas Gerais, Brazil, has been done by The Telegraph http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/southamerica/brazil/11065364/Inside-the-Brazilian-all-woman-village-desperate-for-men.html
It's more of a cultural thing that the men work away through the week so the day to day running of the village (which translates as Bride of the Lamb) is done mainly by women. There is a bit of exaggerating of the whole "they just need some men" - thing though.

It really needs a Portuguese speaker to decide that as that’s the language the source material is in.

Subject: [Gendergap] Noiva do Cordeiro Is this for real? http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/town-entire-population-made-up-4113722 And if so, should there be a Wikipedia entry about it? I started to draft one but am a little worried because there seems to be only one article about this mysterious town. Hoax, maybe. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Noiva_do_Cordeiro _______________________________________________ Gendergap mailing list Gendergap@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/gendergap
