An Australian museum excluded men from an exhibit to highlight misogyny. A man sued for access and won.

    They should just make it a small art exhibit out front, then 2 bathrooms, the mens is normal, with some basic art, but the women’s bathroom has a bar and cocktail lounge and the extra amenities. Then the business wouldn’t be excluding men, it would just be providing them a different experience in the bathroom which I feel like they’d have a much better time defending in court. But it also seems like this whole thing was done as a form of activism and it looks like one of the intents is for this business to close down so they can be martyrs.

        I’m not really an artsy type person, more of a logical minded person, so it really wouldn’t be something I would do. But as a logical thinker I’m good at coming up with creative logical solutions to puzzles. I’d be better as a consultant.

          I’d be happy to give a letter of reference.

          To whom it may concern,
          Pleasejustdie…

          You may need to change your handle for this to work :)

            True, but changing the handle is just too much effort for me though, so I guess the plan is foiled in the planning stages. aww shucks.
