The river of tears runs deep here, I notice.

A woman hitting a man and a man hitting a woman are not quite the same thing, as I\'m sure you know.

While we\'re on the subject of double standards, how would you feel if the painting in question was a portrait of George Bush heroically planting the US flag in the rubble at the world trade center site, and the woman gallery owner was punched in the face by a progressive anti-globalist protester?  Would you also find that funny and post a joke about it?

I would find it equally offensive.

When I had first read this, for some strange reason i got the idea that this gallery happened to be in the middle east. When i found out that it was in San Fran I couldnt believe it. Actually threatening somebody to close their shop up etc? Thats just rediculous. I was somewhat dissapointed to hear that she was just packing up and leaving.

Im not a hardcore artist and all for the whole let expression not be censored and all of that, but id definately make a stand against that kinda bull. In this day and age im surprised that this even happened. Especially in America.
