Further, during a child custody case, Jones’ attorney admitted that Alex Jones is a “performance artist.”
I don't get why people make such a big deal about this. They seem to think "Yeah! We finally got him, this will take him down!" What radio or TV broadcaster doesn't have an on-air persona? Why is this surprising that Jones in real life isn't exactly how he is on air?

On a design note it should be noted that the "women's" chair requires women to keep their legs spread at all times, so essentially if a woman happens to to be wearing a skirt they will be exposing themselves for all to see.... I feel like this will accomplish the exact opposite of empowering women against male intrusion...

Practically speaking these chairs also require some sort of authoritarian enforcement, because if you placed them in a room obviously the guys will gravitate towards the girls chairs, and vice-versa.

I don't understand how anyone sincerely cares about this and thinks it's a topic that needs to be discussed. Male genitals are on the outside and hang between their legs. What more is there to discuss?
