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. (And we wouldn't want that...) https://eu.freep.com/story/news/2018/01/10/pink-pussyhats-feminists-hats-womens-march/1013630001/ …pic.twitter.com/K45QnTuCLA
@Womans_Place_UK which was set up to enable women to meet to discuss changes to the gender recognition act has been smeared as a "hate organisation" and Leeds City Council caved, cancelling their venue at the last minutehttps://womansplaceuk.org/dear-leeds-council/ …
Lesbians holding up a sign saying "Lesbians = female homosexuals" have been called hateful and exclusivehttps://www.pinknews.co.uk/2018/07/07/mayor-of-london-sadiq-khan-pride-transgender/ …
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 @TybilAlper
It is impossible that @PHMMcr followed its own procedure here. 10 minutes is not enough time to undertake a reasonable amount of research and review the evidence available, seeking external advice where necessary.
So what happened? Why did you break your own rules @katyarcher?pic.twitter.com/PHyGfLw3jB
Maybe they could revisit. Take a little longer and share their findings on their site -- is the definition of woman too hostile to be displayed in public in a museum exhibit on protests, or was the initial decision perhaps wrong (there is no shame in reconsidering)
They could write about which external advisors they consulted, and what they concluded about the intent of the material and what it represents. And yes they could think about using this as an opportunity to use the experimental protest lab for sparking debate and thinking.
This would be simply following their own procedures for these cases. It's extremely worrying that freedom of speech is being curtailed in this way in the UK today. The @PHMMcr is the last space where this should be happening!
Also if they disagree with this definition of woman, how do they define woman? (e.g. in the context of protecting woman's rights, which they say they do) ..... What is a Woman?
