CNN has a video piece about women and “stripper workouts,” and whether or not it is “empowering or demeaning” to women.
Pay particular attention to the good Dr. Tina Deshotels, who’s “been studying strippers for ten years.” She expresses concern that many strippers lose their sense of sexuality and is “afraid that many of these women (the workout customers) will as well,” and therefore implies that these workouts may be demeaning in some way.

I think any time a woman can do something that allows her to feel sexy or sensual for herself, it is empowering by default. Unless they’re doing this to keep a man/partner, I don’t see how it could remotely be considered “demeaning.”
Thoughts?
