    The problem is that this kind of approach doesn’t solve or work towards improving anything. Mysogynists are just going to double down if they’re treated this way, even if an art exhibit is miniscule compared to the other issues.

    It’s the same as how incels are pushed further into extremism after all other groups exclude and push them away. Those people are looking for a community and a place to fit in, and if the only place that will take them is awful and negative they’ll settle there and radicalise. The goal should be to open a constructive discussion and change minds, not just throw more stuff onto the fire.

      You just explained how they don’t have a logical position, just a kneejerk reaction to having their behaviour pointed out - you are only fooling yourself if you think there’s a constructive discussion available. Grow up and make them fear physical retribution if they keep spreading such abhorrent views.
