I find it quite upsetting when I make a friend in school, and after getting comfortable with him/her their first response to my profession is "NO WAY!! But you're like, so.. normal?" I always respond with "Not all strippers are coked out prostitutes with children." In fact, I would say almost NONE are. I occasionally see the girl who's open about her drug problem, and yes.. I know when girls are doing extra's.. But I AM SO TIRED OF BEING ASSOCIATED WITH THESE WOMEN. (Not the single mothers.. that was just another "typical" stripper thing, to be a single mom) Not that these women are bad people, but damn! There are some high educated, hard working women in the club using their brains to make a ton of money in half the time! Why is that wrong? Why does the media portray us to all be a bunch of air headed bimbos? I am a college student, I don't do drugs, (NEVER HAVE)don't have children, I cook, clean, do weird old lady things (scrapbook, design cookbooks) and I'm in a long term faithful relationship! I AM TIRED OF BEING LOOKED AT LIKE I AM WORTHLESS SCUM WITH NO LIFE GOALS. Does anyone else get fed up with this crap? And what was your best comeback?

, but the times I've felt the shittiest about doing this job were the times I needed to do some serious soul searching. Powerful reactions like the one you're having sometimes happen in response to people holding up a metaphorical mirror for us.
