I grew tired of hearing the phrase, "it's a fantasy" over and over and the dripping disdain whenever they mentioned..."men" as in she has left her family to drive 5 hours to go in this place of all... "men," like it's such a dirty word. Typically, another portrayal of us PLs as doofus walking hard-ons acting like deer in headlights when we see a naked woman. Well, chickie, I would have turned you down too if you came sauntering around asking if I was tipping the girls or if you asked for a $1 to show me your boobies. Really $25 for a floor dance at some hole in the wall joint at an ATV convention? Yeah, mjx, I had a few thoughts.
I always find the dancer's perspective interesting. Don't always agree with it but it is interesting.
The first two girls working Myrtle Beach seemed the most realistic to me, and that black girl was nice looking. The young girl in Wisconsin was a waste of time and not very savy in making money either.
The gal shown traveling to and dancing in New Orleans, well at least she talked about OTC activities. She had 20 years of dancing behind her too and won't be in the game much longer.
Overall I'm glad I watched it but even more glad it does not represent the total of my knowledge about strip clubs.
It's all about misinformation from mainstream media trying to shape how Americans think and behave. If the average guy who doesn't go to or rarely goes thinks that anything that goes on is well out of what he can afford, he isn't going to go. If a guy's wife or girlfriend thinks that he is going to blow $500 to a grand just for some fun, there is going to be a fight and less people going. It also makes it look like club owners are rolling in cash (and many are), being a glorified pimp. On the reverse, if desperate women think that by turning to stripping they are going to make thousands and thousands of dollars a night for doing nothing more are going to turn to it, only to find out you low paying and hard a job it can really be, making them more likely to turn to the government for help with thief bills, or worse, street prostitution. It all makes for good stories for them to broadcast, making successful American men look like sex hungry aggressors and women all look like victims in a white male controlled world. We all know that in all facts there are truths and lies, black and white and grey areas, and always much more to the stories than is usually told. Stories like this, though, paint a very dark picture of things, the have and the have nots, the "entitled" and the imposed by so society "slave", and their goal is to break down the walls of capitalism to impose a utopian socialistic society. Their story isn't really about strip clubs or their patrons, but to change the way we live our lives to how they want us to live them!
O.K., now that I have went on my rant, any comments (positive or negative) are welcome.
@Dougster-After reading McKenna, Wasson, listening to The Psychedelic Salon, I really have no interest in hearing or watching Lisa Ling discuss Ayshuasca. Forgot who wrote The Cosmic Serpent but that's another good book about DMT & Ayahuasca.
