Sheffield strip club keeps licence despite opposition by feminist coalition

[stumbledin]

From the way the Guardian reports it (but does anyone think their reporting is unbiased) the undercover filming that campaigners organised has worked against them.

I think the licence will be reviewer again in a year. Have a horrible feeling that if it hadn't been "feminists" campaigning but "local" people the council would have acted differently. The patriarchy likes to be seen to slapping down uppity women.

They didn't even value the opinion of the local Rape Crisis Centre which works nearby.

But you aren't even supporting the current regulations. You're happy for them to be ignored because the sex pozzie ladies told you they love a bit of pole and have never so much had a punter look at them with anything other than respectful awe.

You are straddling some pointless no woman's land. I've no idea why, in truth, though I do have some ideas I'd probably be deleted for suggesting.

It just never ends...

Um... you kind of do though if you're telling them what they can and can't do with them though

Don’t be silly. That’s not what I’m saying at all. Strippers can do whatever they like with their bodies. I want to end the commodification of it.

This is the end, my friends...and we'll reach it without Roses achieving a coherent argument of any kind. But hey, everyone got to read about the 30 ft stripper pole, the future of non sexualized strip clubs full of world class athletes, and how much Courtney looks down on prostitutes, so yay empowerment.

Ah Rufus, you just inspired me to watch the Shrek version of Hallelujah.

Lovely.

"and we'll reach it without Roses achieving a coherent argument of any kind."

That's their MO on all FWR threads. Don't know about elsewhere on MN but definitely the case here.

And here's Kate McKinnon doing the song in the immediate aftermath of Trump's election.

Its just the band i like...but it is all mournful with fiona about to make a massive mistake and shrek being too proud to go after her

I’m going to go to sleep now with my head full of strip clubs for athletes, and Shrek pole dancing. My dreams are going to be weird AF.

pretend I haven't said owt to mask the fact nobody wants to hear anything outside of the bubble, par for the course and wouldn't expect owt less, don't worry.

Oh good lord soph

Try and think of something else before you go to bed

Well if you won't join in with Silent Night in German, maybe you prefer Latin?

And don't forget this gem ...

Yay, comment on the semantics of the wording to avoid what was actually said and the point made.
Not had that one before. (Oh, wait...)

... which might well end up in a text book.

I did it in English!

Or was i thinking of another song 🤔

Love to figure how you work that one out if we shut down all strip clubs everywhere like has been suggested, as by the default of doing so, they can't then, can they...

I think it’s too late, Rufus! It’s been a long day, and I’m awful sleepy...

🎶In heav'n the bells are ringing🎶

Tinsel - wow blast from the past. I saw them do that live on that 2004 tour!

Sorry Rufus yes, you can always be relied on in a sing song.

Being agnostic, I'd prefer something like Little Donkey.
Also, we had to learn Silent Night in German at school. It was an exhausting experience.

Oh god soph

Think of raindrops on kittens

Wait that doesnt sound right

Whiskers!!!!

Did I say my suggestion was shitting down strip clubs, hmmm, Rose? Nope. Why don’t you accuse Lang of something I said now, then we can all go up the wooden stairs to Bedfordshire and let this all sink away into oblivion.

Christ alive, shutting down strip clubs, not shitting down them!

I’m not that kind of evil feminist fun sponge.
