    Default Tyra Banks 12-04-08 More stuff about the sex industry

    I couldn't help it... I watched Tyra today. She does an awful lot of stuff on the sex industry. Did anyone else watch it? My problem with todays episode is it wasn't very balanced and only showed the negative aspects of the industry. It is regrettable that there are many women who suffered some form of abuse (I was one) but there is so much more to the adult industry than she presents. There are women who have put themselves through medical school, obtained doctorates, supporting their families. I wish she would show that sometimes. any thoughts?

    Haven't seen the show. I try to avoid stripclub hatemongers, like Tyra, at all costs. She makes no secret about her hatred for us all and how we need to get real jobs and use our smarts not our bodies. She's such a hypocrite, is very close-minded, and ridiculously judgmental. You really want to know why Tyra is still single??? Well, for one, she's too damn uptight, but what do I know I'm just a stripper.

    I watched it.
    I thought it was laughable, "you have to walk b/4 you can run". "You can get a good job" sure in this economy

    She's a hypocrite. I didn't see todays show but in the past she has done shows on porn and on 1 she was coming down on this girl like she was a street walker and on another show she was kinda encouraging women to watch porn. And she did another show showing off Buffy the body ( a stripper/ video girl). I'm confused.

    When people do the whole 'women in the sex industry have been abused, that's why they do it' it makes me mad. If they did the research they would find that women in the teaching/ nursing/ banking industries have been abused but that doesn't equate to easy prejudice for the propaganda machine. Women are abused on a horribly frequent basis and it shouldn't matter whether those women are kindergarden teachers, nurses, lawyers or strippers, because when people start placing value judgements on women like that then they are NEVER going to be of help in stopping the abuse, exploitation and degradation of women.
    End of rant.

    ^^^ Isn't the statistic like, 1 in 3 women by the time we reach adulthood? Even if it was only 1 in 10, that would still be 10% of women, and I don't think there are quite that many strippers.

    I loooooathe Tyra's show. That's super hypocrisy. Plus, well, she's kind of a nutter.

    I hate her. Justice is served though. Her talk show is losing syndication.

    Isn't it mostly just surly old housewives that watch her show? I've never seen it so I'm just assuming that's who her audience mostly is and therefore the popular theory would be sex industry=bad. I guess she's just preaching to the choir and giving them more reasons to resent young, attractive women who utilize their looks for profit.

    Maybe I should ask Fox News or Bill O'reilly to do a segment. "Fair and Balanced" is Fox's slogan right? LMAO

    she wants ya to keep your panties on, I guess. fergit that!!
    I loved going to strip clubs; I actually made some friends there. Now things are different for the clubs and for me. As a result I am not as happy.

    Customers are not entitled to grope, disrespect, or rob strippers. This is their job, not their hobby, and they all need income. Clubs are not just some erotic show for guys to view while drinking.

    NOTE: anything I post here, outside of a direct quote, is my opinion only, which I am entitled to. Take it for what you estimate it is worth.

    I haven't seen a balanced documentary yet on subjects like porn, stripping, etc, yet for the good and simple reason that balanced documentaries don't get high television ratings.

    People aren't interested in hearing that the majority of dancers have normal lives outside of work or have made a conscious decision that dancing provides a better income that alternative form of employment.

    They'd much rather watch a documentary about the relatively small percentage of dancers who have drug problems, have mental health problems, etc. It may not be representative of the profession, but it does put up the TV ratings - and hence the income from the program.
