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.

    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.

    Thanks you for saying so and spending time thinking about this. The way I see things, the point here is to take a glance at how systemic sexism works through an art exhibit. That is, if you dare.

    Other examples that would illustrate what I mean in relation to systemic sexism, would be:

    • It is not sexism if a dude is not allowed in a lesbian bar. They are a minority group, and just want to do their thing.
    • It is sexism when a woman is refused to apply for a grandmaster chess tournament because of tradition/culture/etc. We live in a world that women are still not allowed participate in these tournaments.

    [edit: the strikethrough, cause apparently it’s not the case. There are women tournaments (only for women) and open ones (open to all). I think the example still stands, as an illustration to what I meant]
