Melodrama and hyperbole are being used way too often these days to deal with social justice issues and it actually hampers what should be a pretty easy discussion to have. Most people aren't jerks, even if they occasionaly do something that might be jerk-like behaviour, and if a relatively level-headed discussion can be had, I think we'll discover that everyone's pretty much on board with this behaviour being generally unacceptable.

First of all i have not used the term rape, but i will say that I can see groping as falling under sexual assault.
I don't view the creation of an enviroment that is only inclusive to half of the popluace as a small matter. The public should be able to attend these types of gatherings, hell go anywhere, without fear of safety.
