An Open Letter

To: Sen. Duckworth, Rep. Kelly, Sen. Durbin

From: A constituent in Calumet City, IL

February 9

I need you to pass legislation aimed at addressing a prevalent problem online: the phenomenon known as "fetish baiting." This is when a person asks questions or initiates discussions about sex-related topics under the guise of innocent conversation, but with the real intent of using the interaction for their own sexual gratification. It is a manipulative practice where individuals steer discussions toward content they find sexually stimulating. This behavior is deeply problematic because it essentially involves non-consensual sexual engagement, disguised as legitimate conversation. Furthermore, this form of harassment is disproportionately targeted toward women.
