Australia's Mona asked a court to reverse its ruling that allowed men inside a women's only space.

Well isn't that about some hypocritical shit?!

From the article...

"The lounge, which contains some of the museum's most-acclaimed works - from Picasso to Sidney Nolan - has been closed to the public since the court's order."

Both Pablo Picasso and Sidney Nolan were both men!

If they're gonna play that 'women only' card, then they should remove all works created by men and move them to a proper open museum.

The amount of people/men who don't get it is astonishing. Art isn't just something you can put on a wall. This entire thing with excluding men is an art installation, supposed to generate emotions and a discussion about exclusion and gender disparity. And seeing how many men around the world are frothing at the mouth over an installation at a small museum at the end of the world it is an extremely powerful piece of art. I applaud the museum for this.
