Bloody hell, I'm no good at starting a thread, I'm more of a reactive poster.

This coverage virtually says that the country needs more lap-dancing clubs to keep women in work.

At some point in the last few years did somebody put something in the water that made some men decide to be as feckin' misogynist as they possibly could, especially if journalists?

No, my darlings ... men have hated women since forever.

Somehow I read this as "lack of landscaping clubs".

Male fertility has reduced by a considerable percentage in the last twenty years. Maybe they are self selecting.

jacky,

I remember when I read that in the 'female eunuch' in 1971 and I never looked at the world the same ever again...…....those words exploded off the page like a hand grenade;

it was seismic and mind blowing for a young catholic woman who had always known that she was a ' feminist ', b4 she really ' knew' what it truly meant to be a feminist , but it was an absolute revelation.

And the shattering visceral truth of those words remains undimmed.

Now you're talking. Is Badly Fuckit still in the planning?

Goosefoot · 23/07/2019 18:49

I don't know what Badly Fuckit is. I feel like I am not cool, now.

wacademia · 23/07/2019 19:01

Women need education and opportunities to use that education to keep women in work. Not strip joints.

AncientLights · 23/07/2019 22:31

Goosefoot Badly Fuckit (I may have got that a bit wrong) is an idyllic community dreamt up by posters here - there is a thread that gets resurrected from time to time. Community pub serving all kinds of gin, tea shops, book shop with all the classic rad fem titles, not a bearded woke bro or blue-haired Handmaidens in sight. You seem to have volunteered to run the landscaping club.

Coyoacan · 23/07/2019 22:44

I just really hate it when MSM pushes prostitution. Landscaping sounds much less dangerous.

If there is gin I'm in.

Unfortunately that's a woman making the arguments and a woman interviewing her (legitimising them). Sickening to hear on lunchtime radio though.

Lap-dancing has gone underground apparently. I wonder how that works.

I'm still up for participating in the community baking.

I don't feel resilient enough for this Upside Down we're living through.

Where I live, we don't have any strip clubs any more, the last one closed about 6 months ago, but the laws say that lap dancing is illegal, the patrons can't touch the women. And on stage they don't, it's a really big no no.

However, patrons are allowed to pay for a dance in a private room, and while officially the same rules applied in actuality that wasn't usually what happend.

"It's immersive theatre" says the (very articulate) woman from the East London Strippers Collective being interviewed. Hmm

She wants "full decriminalisation of the sex industry". Supported by Corbyn apparently.

No trafficked/coerced woman to interview as well BBC? Some good points made by the female Labour MP though.

Giving men erections isn't a feminist action.
