    Default Christina Ricci insults strippers

    Stripper culture riles up Christina Ricci

    Okay, I saw this article about how this Hollywood actress is upset that “Stripper Culture” is about the objectification of women. Um, really? How do you figure (cough, cough, hypocrite! Cough, cough)? As if the film business isn’t about objectification of women? Whatever…

    So I ask this question, Christina, what is the one industry that women’s wages consistently are higher then men’s? I’ll give you a hint: it starts with an “S” and ends with “tripper”.

    That’s right, male strippers don’t earn nearly as much as females. Usually the difference is by as much as half. Seriously. Can you name a single famous male stripper? Just one is fine. I can’t either, but history is full of famous female strippers, such as Lili St Cyr, Gypsy Rose Lee and Betty Paige. We’ve got famous modern strippers, too. Anna Nichole Smith, Jenna Jameson and Dita Von Teese. I can’t, for the life of me come up with a single male counterpart to any of these ladies.

    So, let me get this straight, Christina, the one career in the US that women out earn men and are superior in every way, that of the Strip Tease Artist, is somehow in your little prude brain more objectifying than any other legal career?

    “I think people are learning to actually aspire to be objectified,” Christina said. “It’s like the highest form of flattery for teenage girls. The culture we live in right now seems to reward behavior that we used to frown upon. We used to teach our daughters not to be like this. I think in the ’80s, there would certainly have been a little bit of snobbery expressed if somebody admitted to getting a full Brazilian bikini wax. A circle of friends would be like, ‘What are you, a porn star?’”

    I got news for you, Christina, women in our culture are objectified. Thanks in large part to Hollywood and modern media images of women, wage disparities between men and women and the attitude of women such as yourself that seem to think that embracing female sexuality is some how degrading.

    Now that you understand a little better that being an ecdysiast is not about objectification of women, but the celebration of the female at her artistic best, maybe try working toward gaining female equality in other areas of our culture where it is lacking.

    For instance, the equal pay for equal work (Lilly Ledbetter act) bill that recently failed the senate. This was a sad day for women (and male ecdysiasts) all over America. There is a gigantic loophole that millions of American women fall through, and the bill would have closed that loop hole. But the bill failed by 4 votes.

    Not surprisingly, Senator McCain didn’t vote that day, but said he was against it. Because, ya know, it might cause a bunch of lawsuits and stuff.

    Well, golly Senator, you might be on to something. Maybe we should just make sexual discrimination legal, too, to prevent all those lawsuits. How about religious discrimination too, while we’re at it. Hell, we could just throw in racial discrimination while we’re at it and free up the courts for all that really important stuff, like removing bankruptcy protections for individuals.

    Ahhh, but I digress. In closing, I’d like to say to Miss Ricci, please stop calling the profession of strip tease “objectification” when you, yourself are in the industry that is the biggest promoter of objectifying women.

    P.S. Hollywood males earn considerably more than females. And as we all know the females in film have shorter careers, less opportunity, likely have to work harder, longer hours and are held to higher standards than their male counterparts. FYI.

    Well, she hasn't been around for a while, and I think this is just one of those bold comments celebrities use to drum up some publicity for themselves.
    You know the old Hollywood saying..."Bad publicity is better than no publicity"

    It may not look like bad publicity just yet, but I am sure it's gonna stir up a bunch of negative pissing back and forth between people....

    Watch her be on Tyra or Dr.Phil a few weeks from now.....

    umm...WTF would Christina Ricci know about getting a brazilian wax in the 80's? She was born the same year that I was, we were children in the 80's. Neither of us even entered double digit ages until the 90's.

    I could be wrong though, perhaps her pubes came in really, super early.

    this is coming from the woman who played a nymphomaniac and was chained, 1/2 naked, to a radiator by a blues musician in order to "tame her sexual urges"???

    No, Penny, you don't get it!

    When Christina Ricci prances around half naked and profits off of guys beating off to her onscreen image, that's ART.

    When we do it, that's SMUT.

    You see, all those extra zeros on her paycheck are to buy back her dignity.

    Yeah, that's the funny thing, no one got Brazilian bikini waxes in the 80's unless they lived in Brazil. Porn stars performed with full bush.
