I don't know, I think for most of us it's so blindingly obvious what's sexist about a pole-dancing club (as opposed to the relatively neutral and value-free object, "a pole") that we can only assume you are kidding when you claim not to know. I mean, Nelly understood (cf. Hot in Herre: 'Stop pacing, time wastin', I got a friend with a pole in the basement' [Woman's voice, outraged] 'What!?' [Nelly] 'Oh, I'm just kiddin' like Jason'). Do you really think that a set-up where women are presented as sex objects for the visual pleasure of men is unsexist? Would you, like, want your sister working there?
To again clarify (what I think is or should be obvious) saying that a particular workplace is sexist is in no way to suggest that every woman who works there is brain damaged, brain washed, or stupid, or that there's nothing empowering or positive about it. I mean, it was obviously empowering in some ways when women were allowed to enter the workforce (say, during WWII), but you would hardly say the workplaces they entered weren't deeply systematically sexist, would you? Ditto motherfucking strip clubs, for crying out loud. |
