Comment on Picasso artworks put in female toilet as part of art gallery response to court ruling
grue@lemmy.world 5 months agoThe effect of the policy isn’t only on the “young males” that you’re so inordinately concerned about; it’s also on everyone who observes the situation.
If anything you’re just pushing them towards being against the cause…
Translation: “By demonstrating the hurtfulness of sexism to them, it’s women’s own fault men are becoming sexist!”
Wow, that’s right on up there with “if she weren’t wearing a sexy dress, she wouldn’t have gotten raped.” Got any more victim-blamey bullshit?
If you punish me for something I didn’t do. Then I’ll hate you. There’s nothing more to it.
If you wanna do “sexism against men because they are sexist towards women” you should at least do things that you suffer from. There are no men-only art galleries in Australia. How is this supposed to teach men “see how you feel? That’s how I feel every day”.

If you lack the empathy to understand the bigger picture, that says more about you than it does them. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

They aren’t in a position to (for example) stop men from getting hired into executive positions, though. The lack of capacity for a discriminated minority to effectively retaliate in-kind is part of the point, is it not?
Moreover, what entitles you to decide for them what forms of protest are acceptable?
The fact that you managed to combine a “bootstraps” fallacy and “white moderate” paternalism (albeit applied to sexism instead of racism) so succinctly is honestly kinda impressive.
Well, if a company doesn’t hire an executive because she is a woman, paint their parking lot. Don’t need to make a company that hires no executive men.
Making a women-only art gallery accomplishes nothing.

This has nothing to do with rape victim blaming.
Really clutching straws here to prove your point…
