Are they allowed to do that in this day and age?

That's right, the best way to build equality and inclusion is to create something only available to one group of people.

Deijavoo

It's saddening that anywhere, let alone a festival that I thought was all about inclusion would want to separate and judge people based on something as silly as what dangle parts hang from what part of your body.

I'm gonna start a festival where only bald, Scottish 30+ men can attend.

Yes - they will have special security at the entrance to that part of the venue who will check your Male privilege (I'll get my coat)

Mind you - the events and topics on offer would make me lose the will to live anyway....

The Sisterhood will be tucked away within the Shangri La zone of the festival.

Says it all really ...

breakstuff

Imagine the uproar if they where to introduce an all male venue.What would the Sisterhood make of that?

"the Sisterhood will welcome all who identify as women"

So just slap on a bit of lippy, and you'll be fine.

Just tell them you identify as female. You have met the entry requirements.

Don't make any attempt to dress or act feminine at all... no dress code is given.

No..... You want them to be the ones to impose any expectations of dress or behaviour that come with identifying as a woman.

Only way to go is totally straight and normal "male".

Just sent a complaint to them via the contact us form.
If anything just to piss of some people 8-}

Whilst they are at it they should provide every female with a rape whistle, pepper spray and a few rapex. Just to make sure us men won't forget our selves and mindlessly rape everything that moves. [-(

Good, we won't have to fight them off with a shitty stick.

Look at all this misogyny!!! ) ) )

Doesn't bother me though as I identify as a women.  I feel sorry for the 'Queer, trans or disabled' people who just get tired and want to seat down but choose the wrong seat though, other than their pigeonholed allowance the organisers have settled on.  They'll have to justify their tired butt choice with the most venomous and rabid lunatics going.

I might start a new naked, ginger, permanently sexually aroused on viagra Druid order and make it my right to march through their pitch, because they are pitcing on an ancient site that is of religious and cultural significance to me and if they object blow them up with a few car bombs or take a few out with a few rounds from the AK or something.

What a bunch of sad lunatics.

Why is it that in every 'female-related' thread I read @Drew_fx seems to throw that word in somewhere?

In fairness, soon as someone uses the word Glasto, I know that there are big dripping twats about.

Because typical left wing authoritarian femi-nazis use that word for everything, anything that isn't in their favour is instantly misogyny.

It is just another way of taking the piss out of femi-nazis and is quite funny using it sarcastically.

I've spent far too much time on 4chan and Reddit. My humour faculties are totally smegged.

The slightly worrying part is the bit about the perceived inequality of festival lineups..
