DeNiro Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 We let "kids" drink or smoke when they're 18 or 19. We even let them join the forces, fight in wars and get killed. Are you okay with that? Do you think 18-year-old boys need to be protected from themselves and every bad decision they make, or are you content letting them make their mistakes and learn from them?

Monty Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 There's no comparison. Stripping is not illegal and does not hurt other people. I guess it's not possible to have a daughter and be a libertarian at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buggernut Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 So it makes sense to you that someone that can be younger than the legal age to get into a strip club, can work there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drybone Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 True true. I have to admit, that was a bad comparison. However, it doesn't change the way I personally feel about it. I wouldn't want my wife doing something like this, despite the fact that she would make a hell of a lot more money than teaching. And if my daughter were to resort to this, I would certainly feel like a failure as a parent.I know not every woman that does this feels badly about it afterwards, but a years ago I had taken a HR Legislation course for the fun of it. My professor, who was in her early 30s, had stripped to pay her way through university. And although she made a lot of money at it, she said she is still ashamed that, as a lady, she had resorted to what she now believes in hindsight as the worst decision she has made.

Buggernut Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 It's a step down from selling your body to a stranger as a prostitute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buggernut Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 It's a step down from selling your body to a stranger as a prostitute. But you are still selling your body by letting people oogle you even if you do not perform any sex acts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Boudreau Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Or selling your body to your boss or company superior for a promotion or other benefits. At least the stripper and prostitute don't pretend they're doing anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drybone Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Yeah I wasn't talking about that. Prostitutes, Strippers, and Porn Stars all fall in the same category for me as people who sell their body and perform unsavory acts for fast money. I would say all three are dishonest and not credible professions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canucks since 77 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Sharp, I've bar tended many times in rural towns and there is a definite difference between how men and women watch strippers. Men are like a pride of lions watching a wounded gazelle. There's always a few drunks that get obnoxious. But ladies night, whooeee, thats a different ballgame altogether. We had bouncers to protect the male strippers. Women doing things that I'm sure they wouldn't want their husbands to know. It's a total Gong Show. Six propositions was the least amount I received in one ladies night. I don't know if it is different in the city, but drunk country girls get wild when hunks start droppin their drawers. Is being a bartender a nefarious profession also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canucks since 77 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I don't doubt what you're saying...but perhaps what you and the other guy are missing is the point about generalizing based on personal or 2nd party anecdotal evidence.

Humble Rodent Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Wow, there's some pretty judgmental comments in here about strippers. But as they're coming from guys, I'm not surprised as really, all a stripper is to some of you is a brainless piece of meat worthy only to be ogled and groped by guys who then go home to their wives and girlfriends pretending to be Mr. Clean, right?

NikiShiz Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I'd love to see if the guys here thinking that this was okay would feel the same if their own (potential) daughters/sister were recruited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
