In a completely coincidental stroke of timing, Mixmag published a feature today about sexual harassment at nightclubs. "This is something that goes on throughout club culture, top to bottom; from commercial big rooms to dim-lit underground parties. It happens so often that women are made to feel like it's part of an normal night out; there's a sense that complaining is futile, and we should all just wince and bear it," wrote Chantelle Fiddy. The exact same thing could be said about music festivals. Believe it or not, he had a girl with him. She seemed really exasperated by the whole thing, and he gave her this look when I asked to take the picture that suggested he felt vindicated for wearing it," he added. But actually, this guy's stupid shirt opens the floor for us to confront a pervasive issue—one that is often overshadowed by "bigger stories" that come out of festival season, like drug overdoses or who Madonna is making out with.

What gets me about this story is this little detail: "she didn't say anything." It's the same ambivalence behind a study cited by Mixmag that found that "of 1,198 women it surveyed who were aged 18-24, nearly a third had been groped or received unwanted physical attention during a boozy night out. Sadly, only 19 per cent of these women were at all surprised by what had happened."
