Agreed. It is diminishing, especially within our subculture--but our subculture is outside the norm. And it's in our subculture as well, far more than might be apparent. Also, the progress we who are working in or going to SCs tend to see is lost on middle America--or we wouldn't be seeing all these new legal problems--making nudity in Daytona illegal via the Supreme Court being but one example.
The thread in Customer Conversation got me thinking about this, and it goes way beyond customer relations, so I thought I would start a thread here about it.
There are many kinds of double standards involving the opposite sexes, of course--the most famous being a guy who fucks a lot of women being regarded as a real stud/hero/successful guy, but the woman who fucks a lot of guys as a whore, to be looked down upon in various ways.
Then there is the 'It's OK for me (and those of my sex) to make this kind of statement/judgement, but not for you (or those of yours)' double standard. I have seen that a lot as well.
And there's more, of course, but anyway--to what extent do you all think the classic DS exists? Whose fault is it? What are the origins--biological, cultural, socio-economic, some combination? Who perpetuates it? Men, women, both?
How does it apply to the industry? As much as guys getting jealous of dancer girlfriends is deplored, I have so often seen dancers be jealous of a DJ lover for flirting with other dancers, even if it's part of the working relationship. Another reason not to play at work...
