Occupy Wall Street builds tent as 'safe house' to protect female protesters

Spurred by a spate of sex attacks in Zuccotti Park, Occupy Wall Street protesters built a “safe house” for women on Friday.

The 16-square-foot military frame tent is designed to shelter up to 30 women from the predators lurking around the lower Manhattan encampment.

“It will be used to protect ourselves from people out there,” said Nan Terrie, 17, a protester from East Oakland Park, Fla. “I’m sick and tired of women getting taken advantage of, raped and murdered.

“We need to take charge. We can make it happen without men telling us what to do,” said Terrie, who heads a protester subcommittee called Strong Women Rules.

Terrie said the tent, erected along the southern edge of the park near Cedar St., will be outfitted with bunk beds, drawers and a welcome table. A second tent will house a computer.

"Are they posting the prices on the outside?"

Not allowed. That would require "working" aka physical labor for pay. They want freebies.

Will Chaz Bono be allowed in the Womyns Tent?

Michael Moore has bigger breasts than most of these womyn.
Will he be allowed to sleep in the Womyns Tent?

Is womyn-womyn sex permitted in the Womyns Tent?

If no male-female sex is allowed in the Womyns Tent will they set up a separate “Pleasure Tent” on the off chance that one of these females might not be a lesbian?

Some laws demand that males-who-think-they-are-womyn be allowed to use the womyns rest rooms. Will they also be allowed to sleep in the Womyns Tent to protect them from the brutish males-who-are-really-males?

It’s most likely the Lesbian Encampment. They could be sleeping on each other to “save space”. The predators will just be women this time around.

Note: We don’t need “safe houses” to protect females at TEA Party rallies.

Biden predicted this when he said there would be more rapes due to the evil Republicans.

They should have them where burqas, too.

Any woman who doesn't wear a burqa is begging to be raped and stoned, according to their Moslem Brotherhood cohorts.

30 women out of ...let's say 3,000 protesters. They are the 1%.

Refresh my memory: How many rapes and assualts were there at TEA Party rallies again? Yea, thought so.
Patriots vs degenerates - yet the press fawns all over them! This will be another reason for the Mondale-like wipe-out Obama will receive next November. Pack the van Michelle as you are heading back to Rahm’s Chicago!
