My two p worth.
My burlesque dancer/stripper cousin loved her job. She thought it was great to dance in front of men and be ogled. It was what she wanted, it was what she enjoyed.
My model/grid girl friend loved it for the attention she got. She enjoyed being half naked in photo shoots for soft erotica.
Neither enjoyed being groped by strangers, and, being strong women, dealt with unwanted touching etc. quickly and with no nonsense.
Much further up the thread I said that women have the right to respect, regardless of how they are dressed, and regardless of their job.
I worry a little that, if we are not careful, we will stop people doing as they wish with their bodies. Isn't part of the premise of feminism that a woman has the right to do as she wishes? Isn't it right, therefore, that if a woman chooses, and I understand that not everyone has the free choice, she should be allowed to dress and do as she wishes? Shouldn't we, as a society, be focusing on making sure that we give women due respect for their choices, rather than expecting them to conform to an image we are imposing on them? Even if we consider it for "the greater good." Any man, or woman, has the right to choose for themselves, and is due respect, surely? And if that means they choose to be grid girls, hostesses, or strippers, and they do so in proper knowledge of what that means, shouldn't we let them?
