For the first time in my four years of going to Dragon*Con someone made a comment on my boobs (they are large). I usually wear covered-up costumes, but this year I had a costume with a low-ish cut top. I was walking back to my hotel Sunday night, through the Hilton habitrail, it was maybe 1:30ish-2:00ish? I had my boyfriend with me. Anyways, an older, late 30s/early40ish dude, with a badge, and tons of nerdy Con stuff (not in costume), commented on my costume saying that he liked the theme choice (it was from Portal), and then he yelled "NICE BOOBS!" It didn't bother me too much because he was good-natured about it (I mean, as good-natured as one can be--I'm sure many people think "wow that girl has nice boobs," but most keep it to themselves), and he kept walking and he didn't stop to chat or bother me or try to get handsy...but, again, it was the first year anyone has said anything about my body other than "Hey, great costume!" And, again, it was a Con-goer who was clearly there for the whole weekend, not a one-dayer or sports fan.
So, can we stop stereotyping sports fans yet and can we stop the us vs. them mentality maybe? Yay?
