Reenie,
You sound remarkably sane. I just think that no one is perfectly "nice" all the time and that most men and women will behave in ways that their partners may be particularly happy about. It is a question of degree and what constitutes a small annoyance and what a major relationship hurdle. To me, this is at worst a small annoyance. I guess, to others, it is more.
Beachcomber,
The £48k comes from the Daily Mail but is based on that survey. I assume they have extrapolated the per session income into a yearly number. Again, I am assuming that they can make reasonable assumptions and perform basic multiplication.
"Nowhere have I said that women who work in lap dancing are not conscious beings. Why are you making things up about me Larry?"
You have not said it explicitly but implied it by repeatedly insisting that they are victims of a misogynistic culture, and not people making logical and optimal decisions as to what to do with their time.
"I don't like lap dancing because I think it is a seedy, sexist, racist, ageist, abelist, exploitative gender hierarchy."
With the exception of "seedy" you have only missed out sexual orientationalist and then you would have the full house of "isms".
"Yes, women do use sexuality to get by in a sex obsessed male dominated society, no shit sherlock."
Again, the above assumes that these women are "getting by" and not doing pretty well for themselves. When some woman with zero education instantly becomes a millionairess by marrying a premiereship footballer, she seems actually be enjoying an advantage over a man with a similar background. You very rarely hear of men advancing so quickly both socially and monetarily based on their looks alone.
"What has hairdressing got to do with sexual encounters?"
You have decided to restrict this discussion to "sexual" encounters, not me. I am discussing objectification in totality and saying that it occurs in many walks of life where one person is paying another person for a service and is not inherently a bad thing.
