Oh what a joke... I barely even browsed through the posts defending stripping and prostitution as a suitable and acceptable profession for a mother much less any female. I see why people are up in a tissy over it because apparently some of them have done it. I'm unafraid to pass judgement (oh lord here I go being un-PC, how dare I?!!?!?) I'm not surprised that strippers/former strippers are defending such things because it falls right in line with the completely warped sense of reality that is required in those industries.
I know and have known many strippers, a hooker and a porn star. They are all nice people that have a warped sense of reality and scumbag tendencies. Some of them have been lucky enough to realize that that industry is a big festering sess pool of scumbags and gotten out of it. Others just sink deeper and deeper into their dillusions. Defend the whole thing till you're blue in the face but I'm callin' bullshit.
If that is the only thing you have to offer in order to pay your bills and god forbid provide for children you obviously were not prepared to have children in the first place. That's completely common though and not surprising in the least, many people have kids and are not prepared to provide for them. Hey whatever you gotta tell yourself to make yourself feel better.
As un-PC as it is, as judgemental and whatever else you want to call it, the majority of the world looks down on such "professions" and considers people that partake in them to be inferior. Especially mother's. Whether that is unfair thinking or not, it's reality.
Not to mention the degree of selfishness that comes up by making yourself a "high-risk" victim for violent crime, rape and murder while you have kids at home. Ask any police station out there, they consider stippers and prostitues as hish risk. Prepare yourself for something else politically-incorrect... when something terrible happens to women in these profession the attitude is more lax than if it happened to someone that has not made themself high-risk. Yes, to a degree there is a "Yea that'll happen" attitude. It's only logical.
I'm sure I'll ruffle enough feathers with what I've had to say so far so I'll stop now because it's pointless. As i said before, I'm not afraid to be judgemental and if you have your share of hate to throw at me for this post, give it. To be honest I probably won't even read this thread or respond to you because I could really care less if you disagree.
