> This art piece held a mirror to all of societey though, not just the men.

The irony here is that you're continuing to focus only on the men despite what I read. I say that there's a huge gender disparity in the sexual violence that was committed against the artist. Somehow you've read that as me saying the work is a mirror of the violence men commit against women? But it's equally a mirror of the women who chose not to commit violence against her. Shadow or light, a mirror reflects it all.

> Was that act sexualized violence?

What is this argument? You're taking one example that you can question the sexual nature of while ignoring the multiple cases of literal sexual assault.

Can I ask you a hypothetical question?

Let's say it was a male artist and the audience was 50/50. Now say that almost 100% of the violence against that man was committed by women and that much of it had a degrading sexual nature, and that these women all laughed amongst their friends while the man they groped and stripped was reduced to tears, before one of these women eventually held a gun to his head.

Would that gender disparity stand out as worth mentioning to you?
