I'm just too square for SF fandom, what with my ability to recognize the glory of my own breasts without having them pawed by creeps.
Not that there is anything wrong with a little consensual breast- or butt-touching, and if it makes people feel good about themselves, that's awesome. But I find the way he characterizes the whole thing and, more importantly, the way he characterizes his role in it, kind of revolting. "And lo, the women were then confident in themselves because I deemed their breasts worthy of touching. All hail me!"
It's completely revolting. His off-hand remarks in the subsequent posts are almost the worst; the part where he plays the "my-wife-feels-objectified-by-society-too!" card to establish his feminist cred, and THEN suggests that those who are bothered by the "GROPE AT WILL" project should go to WisCon, which is made just for prudes like them.
GAH I haven't been this pissed at the Internets in a while.
