...and here we come to the reason why I don't get why so many "feminists" have such a beef with the sex industry.
Ill let this quote from MY favorite feminist answer this:
Stripping is "a sacred dance of pagan origins" and the money men stuff into G-strings is a "ritual offering." "The more a woman takes off her clothes, the more power she has " and feminists hate strippers because "modern professional women cannot stand the thought that their hard won achievements can be outweighed in an instant by a young hussy flashing a little tits and ass."
- Camille Paglia
Well it seems like a good time to re-open this thread! Maybe a good time to go a little deeper into the topic?
Camille is one of my favorite authors but I don't agree with everything she says. The way she glorifies streetwalkers, for example ("Hail Pagan Priestess!") kind of makes me cringe.
Her Greco-Roman version of paganism, however, I find vastly preferable to the Romantic fluffy "Wicca" so popular today.
Does reading Paglia make you want to become a call girl? It does me! Now what to do with this pesky boyfriend...
