- Shallownessdiscussion comment12 years agoI think I get the question. I was raised by my mom and my sister and became a pretty staunch feminist as a result. Therefore there's a lot of cognitive dissonance going on when my wife (a former stripper) and I visit strip clubs, because I both understand that they objectify women and that they contribute to us having incredible sex when we leave the club. So something is going on there that we both enjoy. We've come to an understanding (and she is much more comfortable with this than I am) that the strip club is a primal community, that its rules transcend social issues in the outside world, and that objectifying women in that context is much more acceptable than doing so elsewhere. In short, it's taken me awhile to accept that it's okay to be shallow in the club. You're there to see impossible bodies and lots of them.
