Comment on Picasso artworks put in female toilet as part of art gallery response to court ruling

  If you punish me for something I didn’t do. Then I’ll hate you. There’s nothing more to it.

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

  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”.

  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.
