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.

“Certain men … apparently cannot behave,” organizers said, according to a Guardian report.”

Certain men. They can’t even say that it’s the Muzzie “refugees” can they because that would be RAAAAYYYYCIST!!

See this photo I posted, this IS taken in Sweden. These are Muslim men surrounding and assaulting a woman. MUSLIM MEN and it's more offensive to the Swedes to say MUSLIM MEN than the fact that they are raping and assaulting women.

And then you have these animals, raping a Swedish woman and broadcasting it on Facebook.......

one of the viewers from Ånge said that one of the suspects took out a gun, threatened and challenged the viewers to come at the crime scene.
“This is insane”, she told Expressen. “Only sick people could do such a thing … I hope these guys are ashamed, and that they sit and think about what they have done.”

If that's all you want as a consequence for rapists, then you must want more rapists.

It's unreal isn't it. Then the Swedish government came up with the brilliant idea of having "anti-groping armbands", that if a Swedish woman wears one it's a message not to sexually assault her.

I can’t tell if you’re arguing with me or not.

If you are, you’re arguing a moot point.

“Preaching to the choir.”

See my initial comment for clarity.

Yes Sorry I should have been more clear

No not with you, sorry, that’s just me talking to myself. I like to go off on rants like that. I was just pointing out for other people to read that photo I posted isn’t just any old photo that I picked at random. That is a photo of a woman being assaulted by Muslim men in Sweden.
