I'll just leave this spergery here shall I.
A few observations:
1. Yes, I have seen women get groped in mosh pits. Usually other heshers in the vicinity punched them out or they were slung out by the bouncers afterwards. Besides, you're less likely to get groped in a mosh pit than you are at some indie show or meat markety nightclub. Most headbanger women can look after themselves anyhow.
2. The most destructive moshers are always the tiny stick-thin girls who just go windmilling in and never, ever, give up.
3. What's being a person of colour got to do with moshing?
4. The article's entire arguments seems to be that women are too fragile and precious to handle moshing. Aside from being factually wrong (women mosh all the time), it's also a bit, you know, sexist, this idea that women are too weak and need to be protected for their own good. Fuck that noise.
