    Protesting misogyny through misandry - what a fabulous idea! Next, how about a protest against childhood obesity by starving a couple of kids to death?

    Doing a shitty thing to protest a different shitty thing only multiplies the amount of shit instead of reducing it…

        I consider the court case to be part of the exhibit. Intentionally or not, the plaintiff is part of the exhibit; the judge, the ruling, and even your criticism.

        The women who brought these cases against men’s clubs were similarly denigrated for ruining the “good thing” the clubs had going for them.

        As seen by the other guy, who upon talking to artist about his similar suit said “oh, I get it now”

          Because thinking he’s the victim of an injustice by being denied entry in an exhibit about sexism shows a total lack of empathy for people less privileged than him.
