It is not just the women that got this "talk".  Guys were pulled aside and
reminded that no means no.  Then it was carefully pointed out that most men
on site are armed with mickle big swords, keenly looking for dragons to
slay, and just _waiting_ for a women to call for help.

I think the exact phrase was "We hope they do.  We've already drank all the
beer and now we're getting bored."
