Your take on this surprises me, Peter. There's no "degree of choice" here - it's a choice, pure and simple. If a woman chooses a job where her looks or sexuality is rewarded, that's her choice to make. Yes, there are emotional consequences, as there are to any job. Should women not be allowed to model because they're being made into "sex objects"? Should they not be allowed to be in car advertisements, because that "uses" their sexuality?
As for an "underpaying" job, I had to LOL! Let's take a poll... Everyone who feels they are underpaid, please raise your hand. Hmmm... Almost everyone... :-) If someone is free to choose yes or no, there is no exploitation. The instant someone else tries to take away that right (as in, thou shalt not be allowed to strip), that person becomes the exploiter. I have a hard time seeing the difference between Judy wanting to tell a woman what she can and cannot do with her body in a strip club and someone wanting to tell that same woman who she can or cannot have sex with or what her contraceptive choices are or if she has the right to have an abortion or not. Freedom is freedom. With freedom comes the possibility of choosing stupidly or even disastrously. But you can't take away that choice in the name of "saving the poor girl from being exploited" without taking away her freedom as a human being. --- In [email protected], Peter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Why don't we think of exploitation as a matter of > degree?
