Possibly the stupidest idea I have ever heard

[crowdog66]

Behold, The Open-Source Boob Project. (Check the journal as a whole for later posts on the subject, including an attempt at clarification.)

The skinny: a proposition that at some sci fi conventions, men should be free to ask any woman if they can grab their breasts.

More commentary (and more links) here.

And here.

All I can say is this: in my present mood, any guy who walked up to me and said "Can I feel your boobs?" would instead be feeling the painful end of some Wen-Do self-defense techniques.

So what do y'all think? Is this actually a good idea, or do you agree that it's really not? I'm willing to listen to reasoned arguments.

This is the bad idea to end all bad ideas. And if anyone tries it on me, he'll wind up needing major reconstructive surgery, to the point of the doctor at Mass. General suggesting he might want to consider gender reassignment in the event that the recon doesn't work. The least that will happen is, I'll say, "Sure, if I can squeeze your balls till you start crying for your grandma."

Sorry. Bad mood. Sick of piggish men, wish they'd all get scrotal cancer and die if they can't treat women like goddesses.

(( Clarification: I wish *only* the *piggish* men would get scrotal cancer and die, not the nice men who respect women.))
