...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...

I don't know what they mean by "real women". Apparently they have some concept of what women should be and you fall outside that capacity. Perhaps it means you exhibit some capacity that is observed in the majority of women. Maybe you're a genius. Is that bad?
It wouldn't hurt for you to go to a regular bar. That way you can say, "Yeah , I've seen women as they act in strip clubs just the same as I have in regular bars."
