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

You know who actually want women-only spaces?

Women.

Please share your mental gymnastics for how a rape survivor is supposed to feel safe in your space.

Sincerely, a rape survivor

Man I hate to say it but cutting off 50% of the population due to trauma is a tauma response and solely that.

Its horrible you ever had to go through that and not even knowing you personally if I had a time machine to help I would; but that was one bad person, not a bad populace.

On the other side of that, you can't force something just because you've identified it as a trauma response. Deciding that women shouldn't feel threatened by men (or the other way around) for them and taking away spaces they feel safe isn't constructive, it's cruel.

Never did I say we should actively punish people for their trauma, I just simply mean we shouldn't punish others for it either.

And a museum centred around controversy sounds like the last place for healthy healing
