A feminist music event has fallen foul of Sweden’s equality laws for banning “cis men” at a women-only concert, organised after a spate of sex attacks by migrant men plagued other festivals….Organisers of Bråvalla, Sweden’s largest music festival, announced in June 2018 that they would cancel all future events following the sex attacks were nearly 40 young girls complained of being harassed or assaulted by men described as “foreign” in 2017.
“Foreign” men. It is widely known is that taking infidel girls is religiously permitted in Islam; this led to the massive scandal in Britain involving Muslim rape gangs. But rather than investigate and speak the truth, this music festival in Sweden simply banned men. Absurd. How can the West expect migrants to assimilate when authorities are too afraid to stand up for the principles of their own nations, including equality between the genders, and the rule of law?
“Swedish Anti-Rape ‘Man-Free’ Music Festival Ruled Discriminatory,” by Victoria Friedman, Breitbart, December 19, 2018:
A feminist music event has fallen foul of Sweden’s equality laws for banning “cis men” at a women-only concert, organised after a spate of sex attacks by migrant men plagued other festivals.
Sweden’s Discrimination Ombudsman ruled on Monday that because the website of summer 2018’s Statement Festival advertised it as “male-free” and that all “cis” (biologically male) men would be excluded, it represented an “infringement of the prohibition of discrimination in a manner related to gender”.
The ruling notes that according to the European Court of Justice, public statements that discourage some people from taking part in an activity form a basis of discrimination.
Following reports of four rapes and 23 sexual assaults at 2017’s Bråvalla Festival, Swedish comedienne Emma Knyckare founded the Statement Festival, which advertised the two-day event in late August 2018 as “the world’s first major music festival for women, non-binary and transgender only.”
Held in Sweden’s second-largest city, Gothenberg, Statement organisers said at the time that for women festival goers to “feel safe,” the feminist event would be “completely free from cis men, in both the audience and on the line up.”
While biological men were not banned from buying tickets, they were, along with male technicians and band entourage, reportedly confined to an area referred to as the “man pen.”
Statement reacted to the ombudsman ruling on a Facebook post addressed, “Hey Discrimination Ombuds-‘cis’-man!”……
Bodega says
I don’t blame them. Men exclude women in many places of business and science and in the upper echelons of business and science. The fact that men of all races and creeds rape and otherwise molest women with little compunction would discourage most women if they just want to be themselves and not worry about such behavior.
Banning activities associated with women or only women in this time of Muslim and male encroachment into our “normal” social and business areas is unwise. Just as it is unwise for women to make it political statement that they are meeting as a “female” group. I think men must control other men. No man should get away with rape of even one woman. I have had non-consensual sex twice in my life but there was no way to complain or retaliate. Now I would retaliate if given a chance. Most women think “It can’t happen to me.” because our society is dishonest about rape and its frequency and most women continue the mantra “It can’t….me”. I was young and the thought of rape did not enter my mind sadly enough.
Terry Gain says
This is a public gathering. Women are not excluded from places of business or science because of their sex. I’ve never heard of women being molested or raped in western countries that don’t contain large numbers of Muslims. Most rapes in Sweden are committed by Muslim men, who are a minority of men. You are ignoring the fact that the rape of infidel women is permitted by the Koran and that Islam’s role model was a rapist.
Terry Gain says
I’ve never heard of women being molested or raped AT PUBLIC GATHERINGS in western countries that don’t contain large numbers of Muslims.
John Boanerges Redman says
You play fast and loose with the word “public” and I greatly resent you for your undisciplined upbringing. Your parents failed not only you but society in general. This proclivity toward dishonesty is now deeply seated in your own makeup and I wish that you would find a high bridge to jump off. Selling tickets makes it nonpublic or else you could just waltz in for free. Get it? I suggest a Jordan Peterson lecture or ten to maybe right your wrong thinking. However, a long putdown by him of “feminist”, wealth distributionist, “author” Helen Lewis didn’t penetrate her progcommie orientation. She is so cognitively dissonant that she, and maybe you, cannot accept truth.
Phil Copson says
“….Men exclude women in many places of business and science and in the upper echelons of business and science. The fact that men of all races and creeds rape and otherwise molest women with little compunction …”

Do the words “No – they don’t.” cover this libellous assertion ?
If your sense of proportion is so far out of whack that you think that you are as likely to be discriminated against and raped by the average Englishman, Australian, or American as you are by the inhabitants of Afghanistan, Egypt or Eritrea, then you are either very badly misinformed or wilfully blind.
Jayell says
“Men exclude women in many places of business and science and in the upper echelons of business and science.”
Really? I think you’d better come up some firm written evidence of established official practice to corroborate that, because – judging by the recent evidence I’ve seen here in the UK – the opposite seems to be more the case these days, and I have never been aware of any specific official bans on females anywhere in recent times. I have seen bans on males, though. Frankly, your statement comes across as fatuous garbage in an attempt to justify this latest feminist outrage in Sweden.
Carol the 1st says
These self-absorbed Swedish girls just look like they’re making a joke of the whole issue while indirectly smearing their own decent men. What you do instead is “hold your place” and demand protection from your leaders. If it’s too expensive to do that maybe you need less of a certain type of migrant.
gravenimage says
The problem is not Swedish men, but ravening Muslims.
Anjuli Pandavar says
Look, Bodega, sister,
If you find it that hard to be honest, why don’t you just hold your festival in Poland. It’s only ten hours away by ferry from several ports on the Swedish south coast to at least three places on the Polish coast. You wouldn’t need to exclude anyone, because by some miracle, you will find no more rapes at your festival than might be expected in the wider Polish population. I admit that I’m still not sure what accounts for this strange phenomenon. But I think it’s safe to assume that until something drastic changes, you’re likely to have a great festival.
Or you could just stop lying to yourself and make Sweden as safe as Poland. Admittedly, I’m being a bit glib here. It might be unavoidable to mention a particular group of people, a subset of immigrants who are known to be permanently miserable, on a very short fuse, and tend to keep themselves to themselves except when they go raping and killing. I recognise that that might be your biggest challenge. So while you’re still working up to it, there’s always Poland.
And oh, about “the upper echelons of business and science,” get off your backside, lady. It’s been there for the taking for some time. Unless, of course, you don’t want to offend Muslims by contradicting their notion of women as being obedient, staying at home and never complaining about the odd beating every now and again.
Larry says
Islam wins again. The total collapse of Europe is emanate.
Paul says
I was just going to write about how feminazis take mass Mohammedan rape
of women and turn it into being about “men” in general, and when they do that
they just mean white Western men, let’s be honest. Mohammedan aggression
against Western women actually fuels the feminazi agenda against white Western
men greatly.This is where you are coming from, like with your contemptuous use
of the word “normal” and the drivel that preceded and followed it.
However, the time will come when your deliberately disingenuous nature and time
wasting will reap its rewards and you will have to submit to Sharia. Probably much
sooner than later. Go and get your burka you moron. I am sure it will be a much
improved look anyway.
Elisha says
Yeah, because we “evolved” and we are “evolving”. Seriously. Sow the wind …
No Muzzies Here says
So all men are forbidden to go, but the only men who are a danger are Muslims. Sweden is unable to articulate the truth because it is completely under the control of political correctness. That will lead to its demise.
James Lincoln says
No Muzzies Here, you are correct.
Swedes would rather lose their country than risk being viewed as being politically incorrect.
This position is 180° different than the positions of Poland and Hungary.
Which countries do you think will survive as democracies in the next 20 to 30 years?

Gender segeration in europe?
Muslim gender segeration c
culture started to get adopted in europe
Ernie says
I was thinking along the same line Krishna . It’s odd to see that because of male ( mostly or exclusively Muslim-males )- misbehaviour , measures are installed to segregate the sexes . It’s implementing Sharia in a weird way , and not intended as such ofcourse . Irony .
gravenimage says
Spot on, Ernie.
Save Europe says
Completely true.
The Islam Party in Brussels actively declare they want gender segregated public transport.
Events like Cologne were acts of sexual terrorism against non Muslim women, designed to cause utter fear.
Benedict says
This is feminism gone mad.
In order to uphold the picture of (Swedish) men as pigs and rapists the Swedish feminists keep importing males from cultures that confirm this generalized picture, that is totally alien to the soft-spoken Swedish man. And the screwed and unscrewed feminists use this distorted picture as a lever for gaining political power and usurp political positions in *their* society.
gravenimage says
Again, the claim that Western immigration policy is controlled entirely by women–even though this is not of course the case.
Benedict says
“Western” and “entirely” are your additions. I am speaking about Sweden. You will also notice that the word “women”, as you use, is not mentioned in my comment. Please don’t exaggerate or distort my comments, as you habitually do.
Men can be feminists too, you see, and quite a lot of Swedish men are. In fact Sweden has the first feminist government in the world:

Benedict, maybe that is why Sweden is so screwed up now. Women are Wo-men (Woe-men)

Sweden is, indeed, in the West. And Benedict has not just said such things about Sweden, as he implies.

The problem with Sweden is not that they have equal rights for women, as Benedict pretends.
And Benedict has, in fact, regularly blamed women for all the woes of the West because they do not wear the Burqa and Niqab as he wants.
It seems that “Dave” is also in agreement that things would be better without women.
Yaffle says
A whole smorgasbord of stupidity piled up in one place
somehistory says
So the event excluded “all men”…Men are the ones to defend women against assault by “males who devalue women and use violence to degrade and debase and humiliate them.” Women are usually…usually…unable to defend themselves against a moslim intent on rape…but it’s even harder for a
woman to defend against two or more. At many of the New Year’s celebrations, gangs of moslims were attacking the women.
And “transgender” are okay…the DNA of a person claiming to be a different gender than the one born in them, doesn’t lie. A male is still a male, even if he dresses in women’s attire, wears makeup and changes his name to that of a female. These guys are still welcome…as they don’t pose a danger? What about the male moslim “migrant” in a burka?

Sweden: Music festival bans men because “spate of sex attacks by migrant men plagued other festivals”
……………….
Why should civilized Swedish men suffer for the actions of Muslim rapists?
infidel says
Sorry .. no disrespect to women.. but many of the feminists that I have met have a lot left to be desired when it comes to reasoning… How stupid and ego maniacal some of them can be even when presented with evidence that contradicts their views. No wonder Muslims love them.. Birds of a feather, flock together..
infidel says
NO MUSLIM will allow his wife/mother/daughter/sister to become FEMINISTS
AND
NO FEMINIST will allow themselves to be treated like how Muslim women are
treated in Islam..
AND YET BOTH OF THEM ARE IN BED TOGETHER… VOW!! MIND BOGGLING INDEED
Giacomo Latta says
Apparently the women managing the shows had to ask themselves the question: is the source of the problem all men or just muslims? To state that all men are the problem means that Swedish female thought is now entirely in the hands of Marxists.

DIVIDE AND CONQUER, DIVIDE AND CONQUER!! – it sounds so colonialist for some reason!

The Swedish Government is ignoring the obvious & easiest method of ELIMINATING the rape, murder, theft and the across the board degeneracy and breakdown of their country???
Deport EVERY muslim. End muslim migration Shutter every mosque. No lawyers, no plea bargains, no exceptions.
BOOM! Problem solved.
Oh yes…one more thing. The biggest and most important thing.
Get out of the European Union!
