Re: Yuck! Dirty Bathrooms at Seabright Brewery

My opinion is that the images are sexist and do serve to objectify women. The owner of the Brewery has the right to continue posting the images but does so at the risk of alienating his customers. I spent $162 plus tip at the Brewery two weeks ago with my kids and family friends but I will refrain from patronizing this business until my entire community can feel respected here. The Brewery can dig its objectification art all it wants but this has STILL proven itself to be a controversial business decision which will carry consequences. I have never entered that bathroom before but my six year old daughter has. Out of respect for my daughter, her mother, and the individual who posted this concern I will not be back to the brewery until this matter has been addressed.

Again, this is merely my opinion but would like to offer a bit of advice to my male peers on this comment section. We live in a sexist culture with many male privelages. As men, the first step in changing our sexist behaviors is to become aware of them. I suggest that in the future when someone tells us our behavior is sexist we should avoid responding defensively and offer to consider our behavior. Eliminating sexism in our behaviors is not something we can do without a conscious attempt to become aware and make changes.

We are all now aware that some people find this art to be sexist. I will join these people in eating elsewhere until the Brewery makes amends.
