Oh man, if they designed it that deeply, that’s genius
I got the impression from the article that the claim of the exclusion being part of the art, to create the sense of being the target of sexism was being made after the fact. But if it was part of the plan from the beginning, that takes it to another level. Setting it up to face legal scrutiny as mirror of how women’s rights had to be won, that’s next level art.

I haven’t checked any sources but I thought exclusion being part of the artwork was a part of the original intention.
Again without checking any sources I don’t think they expected legal issues, but who knows. When the legal issues arose the fact that they chose to lean into them to extend the work is what makes it clever.
