Sorry, to be clear - I am in no sense downplaying the right of people to seek employment as strippers, burlesque artistes, erotic or exotic dancers or similar. Nor am I making moral judgements about the profession.
I am, however, not convinced that one can say:
And I honestly have no problem with people (of whatever race, gender, or sex orientation) hiring other people (also of whatever race, gender, or sex orientation ) to strip for them. The fact the stripper was black and poor and her clients were white and rich should have no bearing in the case.
And ignore that, as it stands, our hypothetical stripper is statistically far more likely to be a woman, and to be a woman of relatively limited means, stripping for an audience of wealthier men, and that the law is sometimes rather lax both in protecting those not-so-well-off women in the first place, and in pursuing cases when those women have been assaulted, sexually or otherwise. |
