but basic common sense says it ought to go gender-to-gender, for the sake of both parties.

Nobody's suggesting giving anyone a pass, I just showed that there is a sufficient force of female officers to do the job if the frisks are administered for-cause and not just at random, because the girls were Walking While Sexy. Given the recent behavior of the NYPD together with this article, it sounds like some of their officers are just straight-up perverts. Frisking women to look for a rapist? Did they think the girls had him tucked in their bra? Hogwash.
