The Open Source Boob Project was a short-lived proposal for women at cons to wear buttons signaling "yes you can (grope my breasts)" or "no you can't (grope my breasts)". Furor ensued; poster recanted in the name of con safety.
Interesting discussions that came out of the furor:
- sexism (of course) - many, many posts
- geek male psychology - many posts
- geek female psychology - some posts
- con safety
