The row centres around the exhibition ‘This is Colonialism’ and the museum’s decision to restrict white people from entering a small section of the display
Police officers are gathered in front of the Zeche Zollern museum in Dortmund, the focus of what social networks are describing as a racism scandal.
The row centres around the exhibition ‘This is Colonialism’ and the museum’s decision to restrict white people from entering a small section of the display. For several months now, Saturdays at the museum have been reserved for black people and people of colour to explore a colonialism exhibition
The museum claims the objective is not to be discriminatory, but to reserve a safe space for reflection for non-whites.
We also have women only days in saunas. Is that a problem for you too?
This isn’t a problem for me nor is women only days. It’s an optics problem and I believe the backlash is going to do more damage than good.
Also since I’m a man I would not go to a place that has women only days for gym or sauna.
You act like there hasn’t been a push for gender-neutral spaces for years now.
What? Do you know how German saunas work? Usually they are for all genders. People are cometely nude. There are also kids. You except people to not act sexually, it is a place of leisure, nothing sexual.
Nevertheless most saunas I know have one day per week where they only allow women, so that they feel more save as there will always be some men how make the others uncomfortable.
