Sheffield strip club keeps licence despite opposition by feminist coalition

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. Sad

shitting down strip clubs,

Well it's a bit extreme but I suppose we can give it a go if we must.

SophoclesTheFox · 20/09/2019 21:48

It’s not the stupidest idea on this thread, to be fair Grin

RosesAndRaindrops · 20/09/2019 21:49

Sophocles
Didn't say you, did I.
Read it properly and I said Love to figure how you work that one out (you, with what you said about they can do what they like with their bodies) if we shut down all strip clubs everywhere like has been suggested, (like as has been suggested on the board) as by the default of doing so, they can't then, can they..

as ON HERE, on the board. Not you personally.
Care to answer now you presumably understand now I've had to spell it out?

SophoclesTheFox · 20/09/2019 21:50

No.

RosesAndRaindrops · 20/09/2019 21:51

No.

Well colour me surprised.

BeMoreMagdalen · 20/09/2019 21:53

It's sort of quaintly charming, really. We're being accused of trying to 'save the strippers', and there is tender hearted Roses, who is tres concerned that if the strip clubs shut down, where will the poor women who love to be objectified and work on their amazing core fitness on the poles go to be treated like meat through their free choice?

BernardBlacksWineIceLolly · 20/09/2019 21:55

well this thread has taken a strange turn

i feel like any posts nudging it towards the big 1,000 are a community service to roses so she can go and get some rest

RosesAndRaindrops · 20/09/2019 21:55

Oh look, and now we're back to patronising....

I mean...anywhere really. If for whatever reason a particular woman just loves being gawked at by randy men there will always be men happy to oblige. If this is a personal wish then that should suffice.

It's not though, it's a massive industry run by men that uses women as the cogs in the wheels and doesn't care how many of them are damaged in the process because it views them as replaceable.

If some women in that industry really need to lie to themselves about that in order to maintain their mental and emotional health I find that easier to forgive than what Roses is doing.

SophoclesTheFox · 20/09/2019 21:57

I’m not answering it because It’s a ridiculous, twisting, hair splitting nonsense of a question, Rose. I haven’t the patience for it. I’ve already engaged more than I wished to.

So no. Which, as mumsnet teaches us, is a complete sentence.

Datun · 20/09/2019 21:57

🎶 Gloooooooooooooooooooooolooooooooooooooooooooria

Hosanna in excelsis!

RufusthebewiIderedreindeer · 20/09/2019 21:58

C’mon roses pax

Join in the singing...threads nearly done

And i dont think there is much left to say

BeMoreMagdalen · 20/09/2019 21:58

Rose's, how can we be anything other than patronizing with your weird, obstructionist style of posting? I agree with Bernard, this thread needs to reach 1000 as a mercy. You are clearly not on a wavelength that can follow the point here.

TinselAngel · 20/09/2019 21:59

@Gloooooooooooo, ooooooooo,ooooooo,oriah"....🎼

BeMoreMagdalen · 20/09/2019 21:59

I am loving the carolling Datun, though. Voice of an angel.

RufusthebewiIderedreindeer · 20/09/2019 22:00

Fuckin’ hell

Glasses shattering all over the show

You’re a good egg, rufus Flowers

Voice of an angel

Yeah

I’m not answering it because It’s a ridiculous, twisting, hair splitting nonsense of a question, Rose. I haven’t the patience for it. I’ve already engaged more than I wished to.

It was a genuine question.
You won't answer.
Fine.
That's up to you, but it's enlightening how I'm expected to answer every single one flung at me.

Datun · 20/09/2019 22:00

Ah thank yewwww

🎵 E'en so here below, below,
Let steeple bells be swungen,

Swungen!!!! Now, what's not to like about that???!

SophoclesTheFox · 20/09/2019 22:01

Haha! I posted that then you were mean to Datun 🤣

BeMoreMagdalen · 20/09/2019 22:01

I had a youtube video of a fireplace with carols in the background on the other day when it was wet and cold. Sorted me out proper.
