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 wasn’t right in 1965, and it isn’t right today. Creating inverse discrimination to draw attention to historical discrimination is still a form of discrimination, even if it is temporary.

This was just a poorly executed concept that could have been done better.

The fact that it's not right is the point. That people across the entire planet are talking about this Australian art exhibit and sexism demonstrates this exhibit was executed really well

Agree to disagree then—we’re both entitled to an opinion, as is the way with art.

The execution left me with a negative impression of the event, and has not really broadened my awareness. I hope it had its intended impact on others so it isn’t a total wash. I’m glad you found it more inspiring than I did.

Probably a similar response as the women trying to enter the museum before 1965.

When you were in kindergarten did anyone explain the difference between good attention and bad attention?
