oh so THAT'S what the 'May Not' t-shirt was about... my LJ bubble didn't quite touch this story sufficiently for me to get it.
I don't see the fuss, really, simply based on the culture of cons. The last convention I went to, a large number of people were going around with 'Free Hugs' signs and a smaller number with 'Free Glomps' 'Free Gropes' and other such things. (D tried wearing a '$5 Hugs' sign, but didn't get any takers.)
If they were being rude and asking every woman trying to enter a convention hall to present her breasts first, that would be fucked up. If they were running around grabbing, that would be criminal. But from what I can understand of it, the pins thing doesn't sound like that big a deal.
