- In short: Tasmanian art gallery Mona has hung artworks by Pablo Picasso in a female toilet cubicle in response to a failed court bid to exclude men from a women-only art installation.
- In April, a court ruling found Mona discriminated when it refused a New South Wales man entry to its Ladies Lounge.
- What’s next? Mona curator Kirsha Kaechele is appealing the discrimination ruling in the Supreme Court.
If your socio-policital point requires the infringement of someone’s rights, I’m immediately inclined to disagree with you.

Fortunately, modern legislation prohibits sex-segregated art displays, so the practices Ms Kaechele is responding to are no longer legal in Australia.
If Ms Kaechele would like to campaign for a return to sex-segregated art displays, I am certain she would be displeased by the outcome of abolishing sex discrimination laws.

No she thinks it’s fair for women to discriminate against men, “for at least 300 years”.

Sex segregated spaces are allowed thogh?, is it just art spaces that aren’t.
Women’s only gyms, women’s only swimming pools.etc
Some guy who lived near a ladies only pool in Sydney sued becase he wanted to use it but he lost.

That’s a shame. Between all the men’s only spaces and the women’s only spaces, nonbinary people lose.

That’s the point of the court ruling right? It recognises the current climate when determining safety and disadvantage, not the past.
