oh wow. that’s…um, my goodness. the most astounding exercise in freedom of the press i’ve yet seen (crap like cnn doesn’t count because that’s more abuse than any attempt at serious journalism). as an extension of hugo’s point, how many happily employed strippers does the author actually know? and by know, i mean know fairly well beyond a passing hello. obvious feminist issues aside, the article seems yet another indication of this country’s penchant to run “free” without restraint. to quote peter parker’s uncle: with great power comes great responsibility. while it’s true that the author isn’t pulling the proverbial fire alarm without due cause, the suggestions in his article harms on a psychological level. i don’t think him a lesser person for supporting stripping as a legitimate job, but i do think our education and culture could use some serious overhaul.
