Open Source Boob Project

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
