I think as Rav Ovadiah I saw sighted equivocates women on screen to in person regard ervahs – it could l’kula that it is similar to Reb Moshe (ie that women on screen or no worse than in person). People need something.

You wrote a powerful message but Rav Ovadiah tz”l does not equate women on screen to erva in real life. He equates it in regard to hirhur. (Yechovie Daas 4:7)

DaasYochid- I think there may be a misunderstanding between you and DQB. DaasYochid, I don’t think you understand looking at a woman on a screen as equivalent to ????? which is assur. If she is dressed tznius, then you can look at her according to the normative halacha view. Some have a chumra to not look at woman at all, which is a chumra. When she is dressed tznius the main issue is gazing for pleasure purposes.
