"I get creepy men looking at my breasts all the time," Princess Kali says. "I have had men take pictures of me out on the street. And that's just accepted: Men look at tits. That's OK. The moment he wants to look at feet, it's 'Oh man, he must be weirdo.'"
so true
"Instead, inevitably, it's the creepy foot fetish loners who take advantage of conventional expectations about sex to roam the streets, indulge their desires without consent and walk away without being charged."
A "citywide foot fetish scare?" Come on, now! A point I've made before: What if the authorities realized that feet are sexual, and advised women to always wear closed-in shoes in public, and never take them off except at home?

quote:For example, according to several witnesses, men armed with cameras regularly haunt Downtown Crossing, taking pictures of the breasts of passing young things. The legal difference between them and the Harvard Square foot fetishist is negligible -- they're both taking pictures of body parts in public -- but the difference in how they are perceived is enormous. The Downtown Crossing photographers aren't particularly shocking; the Harvard Square foot fetishist is an exotic pervert.
That's why the media makes a big deal about it. I'm not concerned though. The man in the story is a mentally ill pervert first and a foot fetishist second; he doesn't represent me or my desires.
