Because the minority who commit sexual assault in venues don't wear "I'm a pervert" t-shirts I guess.
In all honesty, I cannot see a problem with any attempt to make gigs safer for women. It's a huge problem. This sounded misguided and heavy handed, but I go to gigs solo and am a 40-odd year old white man and if I had to be subject to a few questions or search on the way in I wouldn't care. I'd expect to know why, and if I was told it was a policy to make the venue safer for all, then fine with me. To cry "they think I'm a pervert!" on social media afterwards is, frankly, pathetic.
Because it's a societal problem, and there's a f**king epidemic of violence against women, and if, as a man, I can alleviate it somewhat, well, that's what being an ally is. The 'Not all men' narrative is understandable, but I think misjudged.
At least the venue realise that not all lone men are predators and that they shouldn't be treated like they are.
