Please assume, for the sake of discussion, that you are a social engineer concerned with the betterment of society. Further assume, if you will, that you firmly believe the sexual objection of women is profoundly wrong. Moreover, you are aware that it is typical for people watching erotic dancers (i.e. strippers) to sexually objectify them. Next, please assume that you wish to change that.
Now, here are two strategies for changing things. Please choose one of them:
(1) Abolish (ban) erotic dance by law.
(2) Do not abolish erotic dance, but do any number of things -- whatever it takes -- to both keep erotic dance and reduce or eliminate the tendency of people watching it to sexually objectify the dancers.
If you have chosen the first strategy, please explain in the thread why you have chosen that strategy.
If you have chosen the second strategy, please explain in the thread (1) why you have chosen that strategy, and (2) the tactics you will use to implement it.
Note: For the purposes of this thread, let's define the "sexual objectification" of someone as thinking of a person as no more than their sexuality, and treating them as if that were true. So, for instance, if you were to sexually objectify a woman, you might ignore everything else about her -- her intelligence, her interests in life, her personality, her behavior, etc. -- except her sexual attributes. Or, you might put a sexual "spin" on everything she does and says ("You feel sick and want to go home? Hey, I have a home! Why don't you come back to my place and have sex with me?").
