Artist Kirsha Kaechele arrived at the Tasmania courtroom alongside 25 women dressed in navy business attire, all of whom made a show of reading feminist texts in the courtroom.

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.

    There is a difference between a social club and art exhibition. If this was a social group that organised their own internal art exhibition than more power to them.

      Nah. It’s discrimination based on sex period. Doesn’t matter what story you tell yourself.

        Well in that case then we should not have any womens sport teams, they can compete against the men and 90% of them will lose their careers.

        Yes it is sex nased discrimination but that is what clubs and societites are for - finding people withnaimilar interests it is why you will not find many straight people in an LGBT book club, or Muslims living among franciscan monk orders.

        So if a group of women want to organise a women’s trip every year and have meetings once a month to discuss logistics and decide on plans then I do not think it is sexist of them to want to keep it to women only.
