    [off topic?]

    When the Dems held their 1976 convention at Madison Square Garden, the NYPD promised to arrest any unescorted women near the site, because an “unescorted woman” just had to be a hooker. In response, Gloria Steinem and other women said that they’d hang out by the convention. She pointed out that the hookers weren’t the only ‘unescorted’ people and the police weren’t arresting every male they saw.
