I think what a lot of people are getting bugged about is the inherent male privilege of the statement, and like you said, how he's phrasing it as a religious epiphany.
He wrote over 1,200 words of how much pleasure he got out of touching women's breasts and now he wants us to believe that somehow, this is really good and liberating for women and it makes their self-esteem higher to have random guys decide their breasts are good enough to grope!
As for the girls who were involved, not all of them entirely knew what was going on. For example, novapsychewore a green ribbon (http://novapsyche.livejournal.com/1996568.html) but she says that if she'd read his journal post, she wouldn't have because the way he put is quite different to how it was explained to her.
And pfft. I think that Logilo's suggestion (http://theferrett.livejournal.com/1087686.html?thread=54912966#t54912966) was a better one. Read that thread and the comments coming from it. It's hilarious trying to watch Ferrett argue that no, really, it won't be satisfying if he's being the passive one instead of the active hunter of boobs.
