Girls Want to Dress Like Comic Book Sluts, and People Not to Notice

Amid the costumes and fantasy of this weekend's Comic-Con convention, a group of young women drew widespread attention to a very real issue -- allegations of sexual harassment at the annual pop-culture festival.

Geeks for CONsent, founded by three women from Philadelphia, gathered nearly 2,600 signatures on an online petition supporting a formal anti-harassment policy at Comic-Con.

Conventioneers told Geeks for CONsent they had been groped, followed and unwillingly photographed during the four-day confab.
This kind of seems to me like you dress to get attention, and then get all surprised whe you get it. I'm not saying they should expect to be groped, but if you are in a public place dressed like Princess Leia in Jabba the Hutt's lair, you shouldn't act surprised if a bunch of geeks who spend most of their time in their two mom's basement with boners in their sweatpants take pictures of you (to jerk off to later).
