How easily organisations give up on their principles and default to telling women once again to sit down, shut up, be nice and put men's feelings first. The People's History Museum says it stands for sparking curiosity and imagination and giving power to the people @PHMMcrpic.twitter.com/eRh3rtarAd

This little sticker featuring the dictionary definition of woman was removed from the exhibition after 10 minutes.
@PHMMcr later put up a message on twitter saying they should not have retweeted the photo.pic.twitter.com/A1NR4EcyHP

"we have been made aware" (by who? @katyarcherWho Who is it you have given the power to determine what women can say?) that it is associated with hostility "any such materials will be removed". Wow. That is wide... have you thought through what that might include.... ?pic.twitter.com/4UJ1a86GOA

Remember: pink pussy hats, worn to protest against Trump's misogyny are also called 'hostile' & 'exclusive' because they suggest that women are female people and should be able to have speak politically as a movement.

Basically anything that involves women talking about the material reality that women are female, and about sex based rights will be targeted and called exclusive and hostile. Is the People's History Museum ok with excluding all of this from history?

@katyarcher@HelenAntrobus Sometimes responses on twitter are not thought through. Perhaps this was a quick, panic reaction that didn't come from the top. Dont think that doubling down is the only option. Give it more thought. Talk to@kiritunks@ruthserwotka@TybilAlperShow this thread -
Just imagine the amazing, and creative and important exhibition you could put on if you engaged with why women are protesting rather than ignoring and silencing them. Just imagine the conversations you could spark.pic.twitter.com/3efX21xu57

You could feature opinion and artefacts from all sides of the debate. You could get people thinking and talking. Thats what your museum is for.pic.twitter.com/ZVpBVYPGPc
