Seems like many of my favs have had worse-than-average menstrual cramps. Since it's typically easier as a stripper to take 2-3 days off work, it would make sense. Also could be that the women I've known who weren't strippers felt less comfortable telling me how severe their menstrual cramps were.
Does being prone to menstrual cramps make a woman more likely to strip?

Jump to latest@ns not sure the relevance of what causes menstrual discomfort. I didn't indicate any suspicion stripping causes menstrual cramps or bloating. But yeah, makes sense, worse menstrual discomfort limits your work options, but there's a fair number of non-stripping occupations where you can coast for a day or two every month.
I copied and pasted a summary who is more likely to have painful periods. After that, I copied and pasted a summary of who is more likely to have early onset of periods from a younger age.
Primary DysmenorrheaThis refers to common, severe menstrual cramps without an underlying reproductive issue. It is primarily caused by an overproduction of prostaglandins, which are chemicals that cause the uterus to contract. You are more prone to this type if you:Are younger: It most commonly peaks in adolescence and the early 20s.Have an earlier onset: Getting your first period before the age of 12.Have a family history: Genetics play a massive role; having a biological parent who suffers from dysmenorrhea greatly increases your own risk.Are a smoker: Cigarette smoking is a recognized, modifiable risk factor that exacerbates pain.Have heavy flow: Experiencing prolonged, heavy periods.
Early onset of periods (menarche) tends to happen more often in younger generations. Research shows specific groups are more likely to experience early menstruation due to a combination of genetics, environment, and lifestyle factors:Race and Ethnicity: Studies, including data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention | CDC (.gov), show Black, Asian, and Hispanic girls are significantly more likely to start their periods earlier than white girls.Socioeconomic Status: Research led by the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health indicates that individuals from lower-income backgrounds tend to reach menarche earlier.Higher Body Mass Index (BMI): Childhood obesity and carrying extra weight are major driving factors that trigger early puberty and menstruation.Genetics: Age of first period is highly hereditary; girls whose mothers experienced early menarche are far more likely to experience it as well.Stress and Household Factors: High levels of chronic psychological stress, adverse childhood experiences (such as household instability), and living in a single-parent home before age 6 are linked to a higher likelihood of early pubertal development.Environmental Exposures: Ongoing exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) found in certain plastics, personal care products, and air pollution is suspected to play a role.

But that being said, a stripper on her period has to deal with potential mood issues (making it harder to be gregarious and shrugging off customer nonsense behavior) and also deal with bloat and less comfortable walking around in a bikini.
Someone who works in an office or customer service can just feel icky beneath her clothes, take a pain killer, and be more mediocre in her job for a day or two.
