Mona: Court rules women’s-only exhibit must allow male visitors

Protesting misogyny through misandry - what a fabulous idea! Next, how about a protest against childhood obesity by starving a couple of kids to death?

Doing a shitty thing to protest a different shitty thing only multiplies the amount of shit instead of reducing it...

I'm not really a fan of the whole "we'll be intolerant so you know what it feels like" but it's also the only way I can really know what it feels like as a white man from a middle class family. I'm on the fence on this one.

The velvet-clad lounge - which contains some of the museum's most-acclaimed works, from Picasso to Sidney Nolan - has been open since 2020.

If the artist had opened an exhibit of her own work only to women, I could defend that as artistic expression. However, this is simply a museum being sexist and then saying "It's just art bro!"

With that said, apparently the museum is privately funded. I tend to think that this ought to mean it can be sexist if that's what the people running it want (as a matter of principle, not as a matter of Australian law).

I'd argue that the plaintiff and the court case are all part of the exhibit.

Idk how I feel about this. I will say however, any time I've ever seen feminist principles be applied exclusionary, it's always additionally accompanied by TERF shit. It's a very quick pipeline from "no boys allowed" to "no trans allowed". The lines dividing can be so blurry... I don't think it's a good mindset.

Sometimes I believe women’s only spaces need to exist for some instances of women who experienced trauma to feel safe and be able to start their healing without their nervous systems taking over.

However, this doesn’t sound like that. This sounds like exclusion.

I'm gonna start a "Dogs Only" exhibit and it's just a bunch of delicious hotdogs hanging from easily-accessible strings and shit.

Don't worry, I've got one for cats too. Same thing.

Under liberalism, the goal of the oppressed is to become the oppressor.

Perhaps women should take on The Melbourne Club next and see how quickly men change their mind on the subject?

I understand the guy's argument in this case seems to be the fact he bought a ticket at the same price as a woman but was excluded from one of the exhibits, but the overarching point of sexual discrimination works both ways.

There is. Arizona has slavery without having people own people - you're completely failing to address the horrors of compulsory labor.
