I don't know your "views on the latter -- the performance of sexual slavery -- are well known. You can be anything you want to in private. I am unalterably opposed to enacting or performing slavery for pleasure in public. Because it's wrong."
I'd love to hear your analysis of it.
Seeing women dressed like that does feel violent to me. I got into it with a niqabed white woman on the street in Amsterdam once. When I asked her why she did that, she told me it was to protect against male's aggression and sexualization. Ha! I lived in Paris. In my experience, the most aggressive, sexualizing males are the Arabic guys who grow up seeing women dressed like that. French men are certainly not chaste, but they don't harass you every 5 feet with some fake bs question of What time is it, madamoiselle?
