I get where you're coming from, and I understand what the artist was trying to do.
But for me allowing this to go all the way to a courtroom was crossing a line. The judge and everyone else working there have important shit to do, including cases where people's actual lives are being ruined by discrimination, and they shouldn't have to waste time participating in anything like this.
There's a time and a place for artwork and protests. A courtroom is not one of them.
Also, I think it was counterproductive. If you want misogynist dickheads to change their ways, you don't do it by overcorrecting too far in the other direction. This has just made them even more passionate and even less likely to treat women fairly
