how about guys just arent allowed to go to shows anymore. will that solve it? 22 people out of how many attended? 10k?
I think you are missing the point in quite a spectacular way. One woman was groped 22 Times in 10 hours, there were thousands of other women at this festival and I’m willing to bet many had similar experiences. It’s not just 22 people, it’s so so much more. People shouldn’t have to worry about being sexually harassed at a concert or festival, it’s a non-negotiable. It’s not up to Women to stop this, Men have to be better.
What a coincidence, just yesterday someone wrote a comment that's totally at par with the level of dumbfuckery you're displaying:
I was only at Coachella once, in 2012, but I found every person I came in contact with was extremely nice and there was a weird sense of community that I did not expect. Almost every show, between sets, etc, my girlfriend and I found new people of all backgrounds that became our five minute friends. I am not a cute girl, so I realize I am likely not going to be the target of this type of behavior, but I never heard of any or saw any either. I believe it was reported there was only one arrest that weekend, due to a fight that broke out between two people who knew each other. Anyway, it's extremely unfortunate to hear this is happening. Coachella seems like it has changed a bit since I had last gone, and the music scene has changed quite a bit, just look at the artists on the bill between 2012 and 2018.
These false equivalences and 'off setting' good deeds/good behavior anecdotes are just the worst. Whenever something racist/sexist happens, people are so quick to point out a situation where it didn't occur, as if people being good somewhere invalidates people being bad elsewhere. See above and think about if you really believe your comment and if it holds any weight. How does 9,978 people behaving well, invalidate the behavior of 22 people who behaved like assholes? And your whole argument falls apart when you realize you're not applying that same logic to the women in attendance. You're worried about how many other men didn't harass someone, and not how many other women were harassed.
I have been bewildered by some peoples reactions to my comments before, but i really want to know what magical place you think exists, where people would agree with your thoughts on this. Your argument can be summed up as 'a lot of people went to Coachhella, most people didn't harass anyone, #FAKENEWS'.
