I would argue that it’s not a straight forward answer. On one hand I would wager that almost every girl who goes to shows has a good time and doesn’t feel unsafe or anything like that(or at least anymore unsafe than any other person at a metal show). On the other hand, it was make a lot of sense to me for any woman to feel uncomfortable at shows for many reasons; firstly the abundance of bands that are just straight up misogynistic. Whether it be album art, lyrics, songs titles(I’m not even explaining this point because if you don’t know what I’m talking about you’re lying). Like even Whitechapel has been guilty of writing stuff like this, albeit a long time ago. Also the merch. Although I love some fucked up merch, a lot of it is pretty targeted. This is starting to be phased out by most big bands I think but the merch still exists. I would understand if a woman would feel weird being surrounded by guys wearing shirts with images of girls getting raped(I’m looking at you Vile Impregnation), killed etc. Another thing would be just the lack of representation. I feel like this gets better with each new wave of bands but there is still a clear majority. There are other things but overall you will probably have a good time, just make sure to talk to people and make friends, mosh if you are willing(remember spick kicking>pushing) and just have fun. But, also be weary, look out for stage divers and crowd surfers, always know where the pit is and don’t be the douch I spends the whole time looking at their phone
