Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

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.

It's art to me. Are you the authority on art now?

Denying healthcare is art to you? Seriously? Hahahaha I've always hated modern so called art but that really takes the cake. You're not even trying to make the slightest bit of sense lol

I'm trying to show you the limits of your argument. And you don't even see it.

You might as well complain that learning about slavery hurts the feelings of white children. Women will talk about and argue against sexism snd misogyny and your complaints will only serve to remind us that our talk is justified and necessary.

The equivalent would be to enslave white children to show them what slavery is.

Seriously, why do you think it's okay to discriminate against people as retaliation? How do you think that helps anyone? Do you really think, a misogynist will stand in front of this art gallery and reflect whether women might actually be real humans after all? What's happening is, that a bunch of selfrighteous pseudo-intellectuals will jerk each other off on how progressive and artsy they are, and a bunch of actual misogynists have even more fuel for their crowd to stoke their hate. Wow. What a win for everyone involved. Alienation of former allies and even more hate. A true victory.

Maybe it's like the soup throwers, any publicity is good publicity. Actual misogynists are beyond help, especially help from women. They hate us and there's no changing that so there's no point trying with them. But we can reach out to each other and support each other. Me Too certainly made me feel less alone and had a marked impact on my mental health surrounding sexual assault.

This whole incident is just trolling I guess, and it's hilarious because conservatives are always complaining that women are sensitive snowflakes but when we turn it around y'all can't take it.

But it's not good publicity, just like the soup throwing is not food publicity.

Everyone already knows about both problems and everyone who wants to have an opinion already has one. But those who are on the fence about it, will be alienated by this.

Such an action might have been a reasonable publicity stunt in the 20s, but definitely not today.

Anyone on the fence about feminism is an enemy. The fact that we have rapist influencers is proof of the need for feminism. Also, it is the 20's. And maybe you aren't the target audience. Maybe women are doing this for themselves.
