DISLCAIMER: I am not a sexist pig.
Women don't belong in metal; or hardcore, onstage or otherwise. The thing that bugs me most about hardcore shows are the girls. They just stand around in their dotted shirts and spandex tights, taking up space that should be used for the pit. As far as onstage is concerned, they just don't belong there. Metal (and likewise, hardcore) are first and foremost about machismo ("a strong or exaggerated sense of manliness" [Dictionary.com]). Give it up, ladies.
At first it was comical; now it's aggravating.
