Sexism controversy for a diversity officer* doesn't reflect well on him or people that employ him as a diversity officer. (* or Head of Diversity, or whatever the job title).
This has been referred to a few times. Is it actually sexism and misogyny on the part of the museum owner?
I can see that the guy's an arsehole for bullshitting the planning app, a charlatan for the way he has represented the museum itself, and obviously the crimes themselves were misogynistic, but him?
Wouldn't that make any commercial enterprise related to JTR misogynistic/sexist; all the books, films, tours, etc,?

Exactly.One could apply to open a museum to highlight the trials and tribulations of black people in America and then dedicate it to lynching postcard photo art and/or humour. It's not like moments of "the lives of black people" wouldn't feature... at the point of death. Perhaps it wouldn't be racist.
Oh, well I probably wouldn't be thinking of him as sexist if he hadn't used "the lives of East End women" to obtain planning permission for his commercial women-killer museum.
Yeah, in fact he's so well versed on the subject he's even been helping the police with their inquiries.
What he appears to have done is to deliberately and cynically exploit his history as a "diversity officer" of some sort ...
If you can think of another term for cynically exploiting the deaths of women/people of colour/jewish people that were killed because they were women/people of colour/jewish (in other words, adding insult to injury) that isn't "sexist" or "racist", then run it by us yeah.I don't get why he did that. Would he not have got planning for a JTR museum if he'd been straight about it?
It's fucking dishonest for sure, but if he'd put in planning for "the lives of East End Jews" and then opened a holocaust museum, he'd be a grade A cunt, but a racist?
Because these cunts think they own the fucking world and can take the piss for a few giggles as and when they like.I don't get why he did that. Would he not have got planning for a JTR museum if he'd been straight about it?

There'd probably be big money to be made in a Hitler Museum, with a bit of handwringing about how we just discovered it was the best way to tell the story of the genocide of the Jews.
With stylised frontages and mugs andt-shirts with pics of camp guards dragging jews/commie/gays/roma to the ovens?There are Hitler museums and exhibitions in Berlin which are sold exactly that way.
Are you saying that those films/productions have obtained licences or whatever pretending to be something that they're not?But that brings us back to the original point. All of the films and Ripper TV series have been produced for commercial gain but aren't considered sexist, or are they?
And it's a serious museum with proper academic credentials and a program of ongoing education and critical research - not a tatty old shop with some photos bought off e-bay.Yes there was a big controversy about the historisches museum when I was out there once - it was the first exhibition about Hitler at a German Museum.

Those two examples are no way comparable - have look at the C4 news thing for what this actually is.
It's tasteless, shite and exploitative at the expense of womenOh yes, I'm not for a second suggesting that it isn't tasteless, shite, and exploitative.

Misrepresentation doesn't necessarily equal misogynistic. But misrepresentation at the expense of women, does.No. But is that the difference between an enterprise being misogynistic or otherwise?
So again, aren't the films and books etc., at the expense of women in the same way?It's tasteless, shite and exploitative at the expense of women
