I've been stripping for 5yrs now and yes there's plenty of girls that do drink and do drugs but there's also plenty who have never even smoked weed b4 believe it or not! Half of them have regular jobs n go to school. Some are even finished with school but still choose to strip cause the money is good.we make more in one night than most average peeps make in a week. And whoever mentioned that they r more likley to be poor...I'm laughing, I know a shit load of strippers and they're smart with their money, own homes some even own stocks. Also I'd like to mention is that for as long as I've been dancing I've never once done anything more than dance such as sex or any other sexual activities in all my 5yrs of dancing. Shit I know lots of girls who are not strippers that are ten times worse!!!

Yes, because more violence is always the answer. “When I read this, my immediate impulse is to find these monsters put them in a cell with a 300 lb. serial rapist for life.” Yes, because more violence is always the answer.

Some might suggest that attending strip clubs is a sign of the same - (paying for a sexual experience with a woman doesn't signal to me that someone has respect for women as humans-- otherwise why not go through regular human interactions until you get to the point you can have a sexualized experience with a women because she actually wants to without being paid?). This is what patriarchy is all about - it is entirely possible for lust, desire, and paid-for-sexual-experiences to coincide with and even reinforce hatred and dehumanization. and yes, where can we help with her medical bills?
