I just had a thought reading that post - when being adorned with these buttons, the women have (in a sense) turned themselves into commodities. Imagine a shelf full of cakes. Women are desserts to be sampled as the clientèle wishes. No wonder The Ferret was so reticent on the subject of men who wish to touch being given badges instead. Most people would rather be the consumer than the cake.

I guess that's what was being said about power and such. I must be tired, but I feel a bit like crying. Best go to bed now.
