Dancers indication of a bigger problem
Friday, July 26, 2013 1:10 PM
I don't think I will write in this discussion group but this once. I would like to point out that you are talking about human beings who represent a section of our society that is badly in need of help.
I have had a number of years with a young woman who is much like most have described here. It all started out as innocent fun and the belief that what two adults do willingly is alright with me. Having gotten involved with this person in depth, seeing her family background, her struggle with heroine addiction, her inability to break free from an abusive relationship with a worthless addict --- I realize how damaged these woman are and how much the men in our society contribute to this problem. After five years have helping her and her family out financially, holding her hand through rehab and bailing her out of jail numerous times I choose to longer be involved. The sex was great, I can still have it if I want it, but she is back where she started - on drugs, stripping and bullshitting men into giving her money for for bs reasons, and back with her do nothing but live off of her boyfriend. She is only 24 and I see that she has no future except one full of bad things.
I have learned a lot about our drugs, stripper, the legal system and our society's lack of ability to address the raging drug problem that exists today. I also see what happens when children grow up with a strong male influence and a mother who has a drinking and drug problem herself. Most of the men on this site appear to be somewhat successful and responsible but think nothing of continuing to perpetuate this terrible sickness in our culture by saying that if they don't pay these girls someone will. I, for one, can't walk into a strip joint today without getting sick to my stomach with the realization that most of these young women are in the same situation my friend is in and the work they do and the environment they are in is just adding to their problems.
Got something to say?
