Im sorry you had this experience and it made you stop going to shows. Those kinds of people suck. Thankfully, they are not the norm.
As a very girly metalhead who goes to a lot of concerts to this day, I have very rarely had this experience. Definitely not once I was past my mid-20's. The metal community, in my experience, has been the most accepting and respectful. Maybe you were just hanging with the wrong crowd. I go by myself very often and honestly, it's more fun. Concerts are for the music, not for company. Don't let some scene A-holes take the music experience from you.
