'Men, sit this one out': San Francisco music fest is for women, femmes and non-binary folks only

Article here. Excerpt:
'On Thursday, Thee Parkside will look different than most nights. The dive bar and music venue on San Francisco's 17th Street will be filled with women, femmes and non-binary folks.
The organizers of "No Apologies Fest," a one-night festival and benefit headlined by Oakland-based performer Ah Mer Ah Su, have a simple ask: "Men, sit this one out."
"Music events have always been major opportunities for predatory behavior," said Lauren Espina, one-half of the San Francisco-based Sea Witch Productions, who is hosting the festival with hello, cheetle. and BFF.fm.
"Every single woman I know has experienced harassment at a show," Espina continued. She includes herself – even at shows she and Sea Witch partner, Haley Scofield, booked.'

All art and music festivals should be devoid of men
Each and every one. Art and music festivals contribute to pusillanimy and are responsible for a great deal of sissification. Otherwise perfectly decent, real men go to an art show or concert and WHAM-O!, they come back completely PUSSIFIED!
Back in the day, no man with any self-respect would be CAUGHT DEAD at a fucking art show or goddamn music festival.
Such things are for women and sissies. Restricting admission only to women and "non-binary, non-cis-gendered persons" does us all a favor.
In fact I think there ought to be a federal law banning men from any such event. It'll be called The Preservation of Traditional Manhood Act of 2018.
I'm contacting my reps.
