Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

So, if I say that sexism is not good, even in art, then I say sexism doesn't exist and am therefore an asshole? Well, in that case I propose that whatever group you feel attached to should be denied access to any healthcare, and if you think that's any form of *ism than I say you're stupid. That does look very weird, does it?
You fundamentally don't understand the issue here. You have your gut feeling of "sexism against women bad, art good", which is not even wrong in principle, but you take that to the extreme by saying "every art roughly aiming in the general direction of sexism is good" - and that's bad. Even worse is, that you accuse everyone who disagrees of being the most vile sexist ever.
What?
What does healthcare have to do with it? Denying healthcare is never art, in my opinion.
It's art to me. Are you the authority on art now?
Denying healthcare is art to you? Seriously? Hahahaha I've always hated modern so called art but that really takes the cake. You're not even trying to make the slightest bit of sense lol
I'm trying to show you the limits of your argument. And you don't even see it.
You might as well complain that learning about slavery hurts the feelings of white children. Women will talk about and argue against sexism snd misogyny and your complaints will only serve to remind us that our talk is justified and necessary.
The equivalent would be to enslave white children to show them what slavery is.
Seriously, why do you think it's okay to discriminate against people as retaliation? How do you think that helps anyone? Do you really think, a misogynist will stand in front of this art gallery and reflect whether women might actually be real humans after all? What's happening is, that a bunch of selfrighteous pseudo-intellectuals will jerk each other off on how progressive and artsy they are, and a bunch of actual misogynists have even more fuel for their crowd to stoke their hate. Wow. What a win for everyone involved. Alienation of former allies and even more hate. A true victory.
Maybe it's like the soup throwers, any publicity is good publicity. Actual misogynists are beyond help, especially help from women. They hate us and there's no changing that so there's no point trying with them. But we can reach out to each other and support each other. Me Too certainly made me feel less alone and had a marked impact on my mental health surrounding sexual assault.
This whole incident is just trolling I guess, and it's hilarious because conservatives are always complaining that women are sensitive snowflakes but when we turn it around y'all can't take it.
But it's not good publicity, just like the soup throwing is not food publicity.
Everyone already knows about both problems and everyone who wants to have an opinion already has one. But those who are on the fence about it, will be alienated by this.
Such an action might have been a reasonable publicity stunt in the 20s, but definitely not today.
Anyone on the fence about feminism is an enemy. The fact that we have rapist influencers is proof of the need for feminism. Also, it is the 20's. And maybe you aren't the target audience. Maybe women are doing this for themselves.
