Strip clubs and the changing role of women
Monday, November 12, 2007 12:41 PM
OK, as advertised, here it is. I can think of about 30 different ways that the changing role of women in our society has impacted strippers and strip clubs, some positive some negative (personally I think the overall impact hs been negative but that's getting way ahead of the story.)
I'll start with a fairly minor one. It used to be a man's world, men were king, women did their bidding. Which is obviously no longer true (unless maybe you're Hispanic), now women are equal at least in the work place and we have to compete with them. And often they're better at their jobs then some (or all) of the men. And a lot of guys, particularly if they aren't very successful, resent that change. And they take out their frustrations by hating women and taking it out on strippers, which may be the easiest place to get away with it.
Ladies, don't be afraid to jump in, your perspectives are most welcome. I think it will be especially interesting to see the differences of opinion between us older types who lived through the changes and you younger ones who have only read about it. (Personally I disagree with a lot that you read on this topic, but what else is new?)
