I think I'm coming from a different place on all of this.
1. There was a lot of outrage on my flist. I didn't see too much positive, but I'm sure in the wide world of the internet, I missed a lot too.
2. I have never been to a con. I admit there are things that might be particular to the environment of cons that I would be completely missing.
I do have objections to the OSPB, mainly that it furthers the objectification of women. I have, however, seen this "project" described as being akin to rape and its creator (and participates) as equal to rapists. (This usually follows the argument that this takes "choice" away from women, which I don't see. Women may hate to be put "on the spot" and I could sympathize, but they aren't being "forced" to do anything.)
I have no problem with objections and discussions large or small. But that is going way to far and way too personal.
And I know I have my own personal outrage going on about working at a place where women employees were sexually harassed in public (by members of the public) with no recourse other that quiting their job, which wasn't always an option. I know that kind of stuff happens to women everyday in public places and isn't addressed.
