      I consider the court case to be part of the exhibit. Intentionally or not, the plaintiff is part of the exhibit; the judge, the ruling, and even your criticism.

      The women who brought these cases against men’s clubs were similarly denigrated for ruining the “good thing” the clubs had going for them.

        Because thinking he’s the victim of an injustice by being denied entry in an exhibit about sexism shows a total lack of empathy for people less privileged than him.
