I think the worst part is how it's so "tame" that it emboldens men to try to smuggle it in everywhere they can or to just sort of stiffen up and start breathing awkwardly and being weird in public about something so mundane in a plausibly deniable way. Also the way the usual level of entitlement and sexual harassment seems to get amplified by how comparatively "safe" it is (in terms of perception), so while every chauvinist creep asking for feet pics on social media would no doubt do worse if he thought he could get away with it the fact that he can get away with just sexually harassing women about their feet means he's emboldened to do so even if he's too risk-averse to go further.

I mean yeah, that's pretty much what it boils down to. Just chauvinism and horny entitlement intersecting with something mundane and non-sexual in a way that brings out more of the sort of general shittiness that a lot of men conceal only because of risk aversion or social pressure.
YES exactly why it pisses me off much more than other things.
