And here's a truly unpopular idea: if someone wants to fantasize about raping said miniskirted woman, I might think, "Ew, what a sick puppy, he needs help," but if he's not actually raping her, or threatening her, in this world, morally challenged though it may be, that is still legal, and one is entitled to have one's own thoughts.
Of course they are entitled to have their own thoughts. If they can find someone with the interst, by golly - they can play them out. A show of hands? We've all done that or something akin to it, right? But the difference is (I think this is the "line" most of the discussion hinges one) is taking the fantasy AND THAT PERSON'S ROLE IN IT public.
Do I have daydreams and fantasies involving real people and things I know aren't going to happen, cannot and should not happen - and which in some cases, I wouldn't actually WANT to happen. Sure. But I do NOT take those people "public".
