Ok, this thing has been pissing me off lately. I attend lessons at a pole studio in my area and I have a love for the sport as well as the community. But some girls who say things like, "Just because I pole dance, doesn't mean I'm a stripper" don't understand that by making that statement they're essentially saying that there is some kind of honor in being a pole dancer and something wrong about being a stripper. Now I know that what they are saying is true in the literal sense, but the root of why they're saying it just angers me. Pole dancing, (to me) is a piece of culture that originated from strippers at least here in the US. So when I see someone with no inside knowledge taking part of and appreciating the art, they should (at the very least) refrain from disrespecting it's origin. I love that pole dancing is becoming an appreciated art, but why can't people have love and respect for the girls who have worked so hard to perfect it... it has an interesting culture tied to it full of hard working girls who have risked a lot to do what they do. I know I'll get a bunch of differing views here (many of which I'm sure are going to tell me that this is just a job... regardless it still makes me wanna stab a hoe) but I'd love to know what you guys think of this.
