I have a very lengthy post percolating in my head about this. The problem is that every time I try to write it down, my entire psyche goes into rabid, psychotic, rage-filled meltdown.

So... I have no idea if I'll be able to post it. I have thoughts on the politics of consent, the social dynamics of conventions, and male privilege that doesn't seem to understand why women wouldn't find it healing and liberating to be groped by random strangers in public. All those coherent, rational thoughts, however, quickly degenerate into incoherent snarling.

*shrug*

For anyone who has no idea what I'm talking about, here's the original post, edited by the author to add seven thousand caveats and "that's-not-how-I-meant-it"s. Right now, I don't care what he meant, I only care that he just doesn't understand why people are angry about what he actually said.

As a response, I think we should all join the Open Source Knuckle Sandwich Project.
