Sweden: Music festival bans men because “spate of sex attacks by migrant men plagued other festivals”
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:
