        The best bands are generally male, forcing people to watch bands they don't want to based on gender isn't equality, it's lack of quality.

        you shouldn't get a slot at a festival based on gender, any festival that adopts these stupid quotas will soon find themselves out of business.

        Bank of England told to hire more women scroll down then find this. This isn't feminism it's nonsense. If your good enough your good enough.

        This equality is starting to really stress me out. If an artist sells more songs, gigs, merch etc then they are more popular and should be booked, if they do not do the afore mentioned then they are not popular and should not be booked, regardless of gender.

        What the f#@k is going? Surely organisers want the best line up?! This PCness is going to rebound so badly. But hey, in the meantime why not force say...football teams to have a minimum of 5 female players in the World Cup. I’d love to see that.

        Gender balance, my ass. If the better/more popular acts this year were men, so fucking what? Get out of here with this bullshit.

        Not all of them, @CamFolkFest has been balanced for years and this year will be 60/40 to women, I booked an all female Friday last year, Booker’s need to stop being lazy, and try to balance their bills, it’s not rocket science.

        Dear BBC , pretty fed up of your feminazi tweets now. Everyday and article about how hard done to women are, let's ignore the priveledges they get when it comes to custody battles, divorce settlements, police sentencing, male suicides rates etc 🤔🤔🤔

        Does that apply to the audience too? Maybe they should have separate entrances for male and female fans to make sure that there is gender balance in the crowd. Ridiculous.

        #BBCWakeup - read the comments! These are not fachists, nazi’s, far rigth or angry men (tho some of us are geting tired of this). We talk about «real feminism», «real equality» and we oppse the «political correct» (pc) mentality and logic. Take our voice seriously, please.

        When will this gender-quoting hysteria end?? Please stop! Females dont want to be quoted in and men dont want to be discriminated against. This only leads to more hate and radicalization
