    Default The Stripperization of Popular Culture

    From the article:

    Q What did you learn about the sexes in researching your book?
    A I didn't expect the dancers to be so nice to the male customers. It took me awhile to figure out that's what they're selling: this fantasy of hyper-sexual femininity that is available for consumption. The customer is buying their time, their attention, their performance of desire.
    The pleasure comes from everybody suspending disbelief. It doesn't work well when the guy tries to insist, "Why couldn't it be real?" The strippers all knew that what they were doing was a fantasy, a performance, an act. And the men often did not seem to get that.
    Q Are men really that dumb?
    A That's an interesting question.

    Just a nice way of saying "Yes", of course.

    Interesting. Hopefully I can get someone to borrow it from a university library for me!
