I do not judge them at all, if that is a way to make a really good living an they have the looks and dancing ability to do it . All the more to them. Who am I to judge other people, a lot have very good reasons to get into what other people term dubious professions.

I think they are entitled to strip if they wish for a living. As for the clientele, they also have the right to pay to see it or not. I guess I am not into judging either one of them, the spectacle or the spectator. Free country, free choice where legal.

I don't judge them, but I feel sorry for them, as many of them are women with few other options to make a living. In my belief system, it is the men who pay for such degradation who will receive the greater judgement (and not from me), as they should have protected women, not exploited them.

That is an interesting question. There would be no strippers if there was no customers .So it would be hypocritical to judge the strippers and not the customers.In the final analysis neither should be judge for it is only a type of entertainment.

Most likely because we are a society with misplaced priorities and values. We view strippers as women who have to resort to doing something considered shameful and degrading by some because they lack any other skills. We view the men who support them as successful, virile men who have earned enough spare money to blow it in strip clubs. (These are not my views, but what I see as common views.) In reality, strippers can be intelligent, savvy women who do not find stripping degrading or shameful at all. Sometimes they actually see the men as the suckers who feed them $20 bills and support their lifestyle. Some strippers do fit into the stereotype of women on hard times without any skills or drive to succeed in the business world. There are all types of strippers. Personally, I don't judge either party. If a woman is okay with dancing nude or semi-nude in front of a man and that man is okay with giving her money to watch her dance- and both parties walk away happy, then more power to them both.

I don't condone what they do and I think they either don't have a ton of respect for themselves or fate has pushed them in such a way that they feel this is the only way to make a decent living. I feel sorry for them and I think someone needs to reach these people and help them out in at least finding a respectable job if they want it. However their customers are just as guilty if not even more so. They are the one's paying to see people degrade themselves all so they can be aroused. Forgivness is divine so I belive that they also need to be reached and showed how what they are doing degrades these women and shown the way. Either way I think both need to be reached by the amazing grace of God.

I don't judge them, I think some of them are very smart taking full advantage of the opportunuity to take some sorry mans money and hopefully use it to better themselves. You go ladies.

I was a dancer for about 3 years, and I never thought anything wrong was wrong with it. I am not unintelligent in any way and I don't do drugs, smoke and rarely drink. It was simply just a way for me to make a really good living for the time being considering women don't have many options and we're usually excluded from doing well paying 'man jobs'. I don't do it anymore at the moment not because I don't want to be that way anymore but mostly because I hate smoke and the men can get on your nerves after a while, and I also hate how the facilities are mostly run by men that seem to think they can treat you like a whore because of what you are doing, and think they have a right to take most of what you made.

The real answer... We love our men and are jealous when they look at other women... especially ones that are putting themselves out there for ANY man with a buck to ooogle at them. It is much easier to hate that "no name low moral woman" than it is to hate our man who in all reality know that intelligence and all the good things we have is worth more... thats why they always come home to us. So to sum it up... its our insecurities that make us judge the strippers.

I think worse of their customers.

I don't judge either strippers or their customers, except to say that I would not like to be a stripper (not all of them are female), nor would I ever pay to se someone strip.
-
I don't judge female strippers more harshly than I do their customers. I would actually judge the customers more harshly because for some women it is the only way they can pay their bills or support their families. I do not condone the actions of the women or the customers, but I would judge the customers more harshly because they choose to go there when for some of the women it is their only option for paying the bills.

Because the customers aren't stickin a naked whatever in their face. But the customers are also at fault for being there.

I don't judge either dancers (as most of them prefer to be called) or their customers harshly. I believe that a woman should have the choice to display her body as she wishes, and a man should have the choice to view such a display without any judgment being passed upon them. I think that society tends to judge them harshly (and unfairly) and since men (customers) are usually more in positions of power than women, it is only logical that they would be "forgiving" of themselves for this action.
