Women cheer as Sweden's man-free music festival kicks off

Matilda Hagerman laughs with her friends as she queues at a man-free music festival, which kicked off in Sweden on Friday in protest against a wave of sexual assaults at festivals in recent years.

"This festival was necessary because of everything that happened during festivals last year," says the 27-year-old student with long pink hair and purple lipstick as her friends nod in agreement.

Held in Sweden's second-largest city of Gothenburg, the two-day Statement Festival, forbids men but not transgender people. It was announced last year after police received four rape and 23 sexual assault reports at Sweden's largest Bravalla Festival, which was cancelled this year as a result.

"What do you think about us creating an awesome festival where only non-men are welcome until ALL men learn how to behave?" Swedish comedian Emma Knyckare, who founded the Statement Festival, tweeted at the time.

Located inside an industrial building in Gothenburg's harbour, only female bands are performing and neither male security guards nor journalists are allowed to enter.

so muslims do the rape, but all men are discriminated against!!

The men who do the rape are welcomed into the country, but Swedish men are discriminated.

Is it any wonder a country run by women in all government depts are ruining the country.

They are unwilling to portray the hordes of homicidal savages flooding in from the Middle East as bad, yet, they are eager to portray White men as bad.

Hope hordes of muzzie savages storm that concert. Sometimes education has to come at a price.

The Poles, and other Eastern Euro countries have the right attitude and call a spade a spade. These idiots refuse to accept what is happening right in front of them
