I guess you could cram even more into the phonebooth if you used women instead of men. But who even uses phonebooths anymore other than annoying British time travelers?

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.

Guys?
Interesting what happens when people decide that the highest law is “I want what I want and I want it right now.” Pretty soon they’ll have to put some of the men in there, too:
“He prepared a meal for them, baking bread without yeast, and they ate. Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom—both young and old—surrounded the house. They called to Lot, ‘Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them.’”
I saw a photoshop this week of an OWS protest. The photoshopper had changed one of the signs to “We want Piggy’s glasses!”
Newsflash America - Segregated housing added to Paradise!
Sounds like there’s a lot more going on than we’re hearing about in the msm or on the web! Got to wonder just who is paying for all of this??? Acorn and Unions have been involved and they both have deep pockets due to Stimulus money (code word for Taxpayer’s money!!!)
Think "clown car" with a gallon of baby oil sprayed on.

“Note: We don’t need “safe houses” to protect females at TEA Party rallies.”
True, but then, OWS is just complete, friggin ANARCHY at it’s worse.
“Biden predicted this when he said there would be more rapes due to the evil Republicans.”
Biden can KMA and burn in HELL, for all I care.
And, BTW, he’ll be the most STUPID one there, too.
Oh goody. A harem tent. Perfect...
The OWS crowd are spoiled socialists who want to live at someone else's expense, and to force their warped ideas on the rest of us.
I wonder if they noticed that you can see right through the walls of that big tent.
That sounds more than a little ambitious.A 16 square foot tent encompasses 16 square feet (Duh!)
The average standing person occupies 25" by 15" of floor space or 2.6 sq. ft.)
16 sq. ft. / 2.6 sq. ft. = 6So a 16 square foot tent has floor space for 6 people standing up.
To hold 30 people they had better leave the roof off the tent because occupants will have to squeeze in standing up on each others shoulders and stack themselves 5 layers high.
Perhaps the rocket scientist writing this gobbledy-gook meant 16 feet square?
But wait!
A person laying down will occupy about 15 square feet on average.
A tent 16 feet square encompasses 256 square feet.
256 sq. ft. / 15 sq. ft. = 17So a 16 foot square tent will hold only about 17 people sleeping in a single layer with no room allowed for aisles.
In this case the obvious solution to increase the capacity to 30 people is to go with 15 sleeping spaces and stack the sleeping ladies two high.
But will it pass the NY City maximum occupancy codes for a temporary structure this size?
Good points.
