There's a take away in the city centre with an add in the window offering a 'free lapdance' in the window...

from a local lapdancing hole (with the smartphone app on the add IYSWIM). Every time I pass it I get more and more angry. WWYD?

No, it's one of those late night burger places for the pissed up people. I'm sad and don't go out that late. Blush

Go in and ask loudly if you can have a male lap dancer with your food.

If they say no, ask why it is that they are only favouring their male, heterosexual customers and why it is that they are only treating women like freebie commodities to give away.

Also, you could ask how they would hope to actually ensure performance of the contract if each of the women in the club refused to dance for a particular customer. What agreement do they have with the club owners regarding the pressure that would be put on the women to ensure that the customer gets his dance?

Alternatively, you could put your questions in writing and see if your local newspaper would be interested in publishing the response (or lack of one).

Who would I need to speak to? It's in the window so you can't miss it.

Exactly Skater! Even my 13 year old son has said it's out of order. I'm not sure who to complain to.

This would make me furious. Its throwing in a naked woman as a freebie, like a plastic toy in a box of cereal - treating women as a mere commodity. I'd complain about it - perhaps to the council? How must young women and school girls feel walking past this sign - it is totally objectifying. :(

Wouldnt bother me. Don't see what the problem is. No one will force you to but this take away and go redeem the free lapdance.
