British Strippers Feel Empowered, not Exploited
- Thread starter Sunstone

Um, one man's (or woman's) exploitation, is another man's (or woman's) self empowerment?
Do you think the dancers would know better than the average person on the street whether they were exploited or not?

Definitely. Flesh is flesh, show it, don't show it. At the end of the day all that matters is whether your happy.

Regarding exploitation as empowerment goes hand in hand with having a conservative Prime Minister.

Terrible....just terrible! Those Indian men are being exploited for entertainment purposes.
Where's the UN when you need them to stop such an atrocity?
Sumthin tells me that "exploitation" is a shibboleth of modern prudes & feminists fueled by perceived victimhood.

Stripping or any other use of one's body to make a living only takes on a negative aura when that use is part of an arena invested with unfavorable connotations. In this case the negativity is born of sexual prudery. One shouldn't enjoy sexually related behavior outside of X, and anyone who does is either a sexual deviant or is being exploited, because no one in their right mind would voluntarily do such a thing. Same with prostitution.
The whole attitude boils down to one of, "Boy, I'd never do that! that's disgusting!" because to many people sexual expression is disgusting when not kept within arbitrary limits. So to explain it they can only imagine it to be exploitation, because it's something they would never do. It's a narrow, small minded view, but not surprising. Many people are unable to concede that others have contrary but equally valid views apart from their own. It's an, I'm always right, mind set.

Doesn't surprise me at all. Out of all the strippers I've known, I've only known one who didn't like her job, and she used her earnings to purchase her own business, so all in all it was worth it.
One friend of mine is the third generation in her family to be a stripper. She used her earnings to buy a house and put herself through school. The whole family is proud of both their skill and their earning power.

How exactly can someone be "exploited" by something they consent to? Could someone explain this to me?

As an American consumer and worker, I feel more and more exploited as time goes one.
Maybe I should take up stripping...

I'm confident that audiences would pay me big money to put my clothes back on.

Wow.. I can't believe gorgeous women who dance in front of gawking men, but can't be touched by them, while they shove large bills into their small amount of clothes and compliment them and buy them drinks until they can no longer drink, could possibly enjoy the position of sexually expressing themselves, with no shortcomings or immediate dangers (at least in nice strip clubs). This is just unbelievable.

Hmm...maybe my 20 year old (almost 21) year old son can be a stripper and GET OUT!! LOL!!

That depends on various circumstances. I can't easily answer that question without overgeneralizing.
