I should first tell you that he has never been to one....I know him very well and I know this to be fact. He has always been entirely honest wth me.
I used to think they were fine...these clubs...because I assumed the women had chosen this life for themseves...but since I have read so much about extraneous cicumstnces and learned a lot on MN, I am very angry that so many clubs have opened in recent years. DH feels that the women are putting themselves in the way of exploitation and that nobody HAS to strip....I told him about how women are conditioned to feel that their sexuality is their only currency and about how the girls are exploited ad pressured by club owners and he STILL thinks it's their own fault.
He did go when I told him how many of these women are pressured into allowing men to touch them in private rooms and how the mangagment fine them heavIly for being late or sick and he was a bit more understanding but he still feels they're stupid for going into that business.
I have become involved in a project aimed throwing some light on the situation....with the aim of getting attention and creating some protection for the women...better working conditions and he said "You can't DO anything...the sort of men who run those places are scum and gangsters and you have delusions of grandeur"
Is it because he REALLY thinks the women are stupid and the men dangerous or is it because he doesn't like to think of me touching on a sleazy world like this?
