This actually really needs thinking through and is a deeper schism than has been considered I think. @Karensalright makes some good points which I've been trying to think through.
It's become an assumed mantra on here that: agp men are 'involving you in their fetish.' which just seems to mean enjoying thinking about what turns them on in public.
But if that involvement remains only in their heads how do we legislate for it?
Men think about women sexualy without their consent all the time.
Does being around men mean we are consenting to that?
It would seem the only solution to men and women being together publicly without involving women in men's sexual fantasies would be the hijab.
Yes it's icky and I wish we still had a culture with more restrictions around men's sexuality but that ship seems to have sailed.
It's not the same as a convicted paedophile around children. That isn't because the children are going to be harmed by their thoughts it's because they are a known potential danger to actually harming children.
I actually think that those types of equivalences are dangerously flirting with transphobia and that's the first time I've ever suggested that in 6 years on here.
It's also not like voyeurism as that is without your consent to be seen.
When you go out in public you are consenting to the fact you will be around people they will see you, they will be having all sorts of thoughts about you you can't control. As long as they act properly and within the law nothing you can do.
There is no thought police.
Or there is actually, but I don't want there to be.
I don't like this level of sexual display publicly that we've now got with agp, but we seem to have reached a point where we can't object socially, it's just clothes and his identity, and I really think we've stretched 'safeguarding' way beyond what it's able or is designed to do.
