Being dismissive, doesn't really answer the question. When did Lennon say this? 1975? 30 years ago. Do you think its as true and relevant then as it is now? Is it an eternal truth? Clearly I think no to both. If you want to critic modern society based on a 30 year old view, ok, but it does not seem so productive. 30 years ago there was much gender discrimination. I see much less today. No existent on some levels. > >> We claim to live in a country that idealizes equality--then how come half of congress aren't women? > > OK. Now I get you.

And thus women in modern exotic dance clubs are exploited? I still don't see the link. Its a logical fallacy. Shemp uses it sometimes. A) Men contol the power structures in many places B) Women in parts of the world are exploited by this. C) Women work in strip clubs D) Ergo, women in strip clubs are exploited. For a while, I had two women US senators, a woman congressmen, women in my state assembly and senate seats, woman mayor, and at the time, strong woman candidate for governor. Some parts of the country may elect men, where I live(d), there is no visible bias against women for elected office. You draw a correlation, and apparently a causal effect, between male dominance of power structures and exploitation of women in strip clubs. Therefore, does it follow that in my area, where there was no male dominance and control of power structures, and thus there was not this basis for the exploitation of women (indeed women dominated the power structures), does it follow, per your model and thinking, that women in strip clubs in my area were not exploited? ------------------------ Yahoo!
