[a sign reads FEMINIST CONFERENCE next to a closed door, a blue character shrugs and says…]
I don’t care
[next to the same door, the sign now says RESTRICTED FEMINIST CONFERENCE WOMEN ONLY, there are now four blue characters desperately banging on the door, one is reduced to tears on the floor, they are shouting]
DISCRIMINATION
SO UNFAIR!!!
LET US IINN!!
MISANDRY
okay but like there are actual ways of doing gendered spaces in australia… or at least victoria
here in melbourne we have the laird - a gay bar that is a male only space. and australia-wide we have female only gyms. they have an exemptions to the equal opportunity act and are allowed to deny entry based on gender. you have to apply to the state for them
ignoring what you actually think about those examples specially, imo they’d have a pretty good case to get exemptions should they apply for them since it’s art… it’s more a case (imo) of not doing their paperwork and getting the correct permissions… boring? sure… necessary? definitely
though with those exemptions you must strictly adhere to your own gender requirements otherwise you’ll lose it
