oops, I meant "strippers who think they need to pretend to be something than they actually aren't in order to feel legitimate." |
Agreed. I have no idea what kind of families the other PPs belong to, but it's like we don't even live on the same planet. Half of these PPs are just bizarre people. I guess you all don't value your parents' time, energy and their emotional investment in your random, casual boyfriends/girlfriends? You don't respect them enough to keep away people who aren't at least 70% likely to become a real part of your parents' life? Ok. Glad I wasn't raise in a family like the rest of the PPs then!
+100000 All the bleeding hearts and angry strippers in this thread are taking the lazy way out and accusing us of being close-minded, judgmental or somehow unfair. Nobody is saying strippers are evil people. All people are inherently good and worthy of living a happy life. I hope all strippers find happiness. However, that doesn't mean I'm going to risk the well-being of my own family member. I am not blind to statistics. Strippers may not be evil. They ARE, however, significantly more likely to be very damaged people. By the exemplary logic exhibited in this thread, I guess all of you PPs wouldn't mind your daughters dating narcoterrorists from Honduras because why judge the young man on the basis of hundreds of other violent drug-dealers in his position? Keep an open mind! He might not belong to a gang like MS-13 or eventually destroy your precious daughter's life! Why not risk her happiness for the sake of being politically correct and open-minded? Again, I am SO THANKFUL I was not raised in a family like this. |
Find a better analogy. Stripping is not violent. Fail. |
I have no reason to get defensive, PP, but you certainly have some problems with defensiveness and a weirdly vicious judgmental stance about exotic dancers and your big opinions on what they should be called. The fact remains that strippers are commonly called dancers, sometimes exotic dancers. You can feel free to call them whatever you like, but I'm not going to capitulate to you. As for you knowing what dancers are thinking or what motivates them, you really don't know so your problem is just that. Your small minded problem. |
Exotic dancer has an incredibly different negative connotation from dancer
Everyone loves ballerinas, modern act dance. Exotic dancer = stripper. I note the previous poster talking about "real dancers" didn't put the exotic part in. Stop defending the social stigma of being a stripper. Just because you protest we don't know another real dancers does not make the reality that being a stripper is shameful. I would be proud if my son brought a ballerina back, a stripper not to much. |
This entire thread is an example of how political correct and extreme left DCUM has become...that they defend kids dating strippers and call a perfectly ordinary concerned mom weird and controlling. |
"I guess all of you PPs wouldn't mind your daughters dating narcoterrorists from Honduras because why judge the young man on the basis of hundreds of other violent drug-dealers in his position?"
You are comparing a woman who is DANCING, legally, with a drug dealer? Thread. Over. There is no hope for you or your son, and certainly not your future DIL. I am so glad I was not raised by a person like you! |
+1 I mean, I'm not sure why this thread is still going on since the OP disappeared, and I guess I probably shouldn't be contributing to such a heated, negative discussion. But I think the some of the stripper apologists here are pretty weird people. |
Seriously. |
No. It's fine to be concerned. But don't judge the woman *solely* on her stripping career. Just meet her FFS. If she seems like a low life, all objections are understandable. But to just assume the girl is a hot mess because she's a stripper is very narrow minded. |
Except that being a dancer/exotic dancer/stripper is not shameful. You disapprove of it. That's fine. I think you are small minded and silly for being judgmental about people you know nothing about. That's fine, too. What is perplexing is why you think your opinion should be elevated to "reality". That kind of delusion will not serve you well in a world of people different than you. |
Apparently your DS enjoys strip clubs. |
No matter what name you put on it, stripper, exotic dancer, nude dancer...it's all about sexual stimulation for financial gain. |
I'm pretty far to the left on social issues and I think this thread is nuts. |
He's a GROWN-ASS MAN! You sound like a future monster-in-law. |
