Not sure if this was already posted.

The article describes the referenced court case, and the artist’s views and intentions.

Personally, I both loved and hated the idea at first. The more I think about it, the more I find it valuable in some way.

      Probably the same way that they do for all of the gentlemen clubs around the world. They wouldn’t care because society is hypocritical. It’s fine for men to do it but the second they are excluded from something it’s not acceptable.

      To clarify my standing I think they are both sexist and dumb. If you are going to criticize one then you need to be critical of the other.

        What gentlemen’s club takes money from women and then denies them entry?

        Therein lies the problem. They want a woman-only exhibit, then they need to deny men admission from the museum in entirety. But that would probably be detrimental to the museum’s bottom line. But you can’t take money from men and then deny equal access, nor can you do it to women.

      Didn’t a couple of people mention that was all of it before a certain year?

      I also had no idea museums might have had gender restrictions.

        I don’t know, did they? Also, why would that matter?

          https://mander.xyz/comment/9083214.

          I’ll edit this, I can’t read the other stuff on the mobile version while responding.

          Edit, I mentioned that because the whole place was male only until '65. I don’t think there was that much outcry? (It didn’t look it up, I assume that poster did).

          It would be now in 2024 though.

            Ok so you’re saying that women used to be discriminated and that (thankfully) is no longer the case. Why would it be ok for the opposite to happen? Both things are wrong and that “eye for an eye” mentality benefits no one.

              I do agree both things are wrong. Meaning discrimination.

              I think one person’s art in this case might be described as another person’s stunt.

              Edit, as for whether it’s beneficial, not sure. I guess we’ll see.
