Sweet mother of pearl.  This reminds me of that Fangirl Convention
Security Task Force or whatever it was called a few years back.  Maybe
I go to the wrong Cons or hang out with the wrong crowds, but is it
necessary to dictate what Rights a fangirl has?  Doesn't she have the
same rights as a fanboy?

And to address the stuff about cosplay: A fanboy has the same RIGHT to
bear as much as skin as he desires for a cosplay.  But he also has a
RESPONSIBILITY to consider the retinas of others as well.  Do you
weigh 3 and a half bills?  Then no Namor cosplay, alright?
