@esqueejy: CONTEXT MATTERS, as you put it. This wasn't in the workplace, this wasn't in the boardroom, or even at a mandated corporate event. This was an after hours, off site party that no one had any expectations placed on them to attend at all. Also, these were simply dancers and entertainers. They weren't performing lap dances, they weren't grinding on people, just dancing. If people cant separate that from sex, then maybe they have personal issues. Their discomfort is not everyone else's problem to deal with. I guarantee they could've been at that party and not interacted with these dancers at all. And they could've easily went in to another part of this large room or another room all together.
Are feminists offended because this showcases a female dominated industry where they are paid more than their male counterparts and this goes against the agenda they are trying to push?
@elheber: No, this is about shaming the women who chose this profession in to more "suitable" work. It's about "equality" as long as it's approved by someone else. It's about conformity over freedom!
@esqueejy: Nice fact twisting there. Where were these so called "pole dancers"? And if we were respecting women as you put it, don't these entertainers deserve the same respect? Why do you want to shame them in to thinking their chosen profession is somehow immoral and wrong? Also, why is it that everyone on your side of the argument has to lob insults at everyone that disagrees with you? Is your argument so weak that you need to resort to name calling? And when did never being "uncomfortable" turn in to a right? Anyone who has personal issues that make them uncomfortable always has the right to remove themselves from the situation.
