| I’ve been in Culture Box – Copenhagen’s premier electronic music venue – for about half an hour when I notice the guy dancing right behind my friend. He’s staring at her arse; touching her waist; blowing on her neck.
She leans over to me and whispers, "This creep won’t leave me alone." I stare at him. For a minute, we’re locked in a bizarre three-way game: her watching me watching him watching her arse. Then he reaches out and grabs her. We report him and it’s a relief when the bouncer takes him out. Until the guy looms back into view and beelines for us. He’s abusive and frightening. We go back to security.
It becomes clear that our harasser is the bouncer’s mate. I know this because he keeps saying it as we ask why he let the man back in. ”He’s my friend” the bouncer says. ”He wouldn’t do that.” He changes tack: ”He’s fucked, what do you expect?”
“Should men be able to touch us when we don’t want them to?” we ask. The bouncer has an answer for this too: as there are two dancefloors, we should move if men are groping us. ”Sometimes girls say these things when they don’t want to pay the entrance fee” he adds ominously. |
