brb gonna change my private school's status to a urinal because I believe that women's place is at home and therefore they shouldn't get any education. For a good a good measure, I'll do the same to the office building, the driving school, and the airline I own.

The point is to draw attention to the stupid laws and get it fixed. The initial premise is shocking and I can understand that it's upsetting, and it's okay to feel that way. No judgements here.

Just channel that anger towards the correct target

Whew, if the bear meme didn't bring out the usual crowd of assholes, this sure did.

Yup. Thousands of years of female exclusion - and it still continues in circles to this day, but one museum and now they're crying about basically re-excluding women from everything as a "thought exercise."

You either replied to the wrong person or one of us doesn't understand what the other was saying. (And that person could be me.)

It was but it was more krass so I reworded it and went at it again. ;)

MONA is famous here for doing all sorts of controversial shit. This one time they sacrificed and butchered a cow live on stage. A women's only space is tame and on brand. Everyone's been baited
