Your argument essentially means that a person staring at a woman's leg constantly could not constitute harassment, and that simply isn't true.

In what bizzaro world would this ever result in a successful complaint? This is the point I am making. There is a difference in body parts and expressing intent.

I'm not saying it's not wrong. It can be. I'm saying it's not easily actionable which leads to abuse.
