Interesting post on John Scalzi's blog about a "touch my boob" experiment by a group of women at a SF convention. Cofax, one of the commenters, makes a great point (or three) about what it *really* means.

I feel it's only fair that the men at conventions like this wear a button near their ass or crotch saying, "You may ask to touch" or some such as that. Of course, they'd be afeard that another *guy* might want to touch the goods.   :::rolls eyes:::

I think someone suggested that and there were rejoinders along the lines of "OMG, that would make it sexual!"

I resisted the impulse to say 'd'uh."

Really! That is a great comment. Why not demystify the penis, which is so sacred it gets its own movie rating?
