Panty raids were protest. They were'nt originally intended to be an invasion of privacy, or exercise of deviant sexuality, or an excuse for theft. The protest pranks of the 50's may have been intended to create discussion of treatment of women. Some women in the post wwii time may have percieved common housing rules as an extension of an earlier chattel system. The point was that these women didn't consent to having their freedom restricted, and objected to being restricted to a maiden pen until their masters chose to mate them to some prize bull. It was really about women's freedom to make some choices for themselves.

Panty raids, as they have been portrayed in some media, are more about male hijinks intended to invade women's privacy than they are about protest of an earlier societal attitude towards women and daughters. Some of these portrayals are seen by women as degrading, exploitative, and regressive.

All pranks can easily turn from harmless fun to enforcement of percieved societal norms. Very short posts may be acceptable in some cases. In other cases, such as panty raids, any short post runs the risk of condoning or even encouraging some very regressive and unacceptable behavior. but it's not promoting it in any way whatsoever
