I think a lot of pps are getting distracted by the profession of the gf here. the issue is not which people are and aren't acceptable. replace "stripper" with "lawyer" and reread the OP and her followup--it's F*CKED UP to think you have the right to control your kids that much for any reason. he has to make his own mistakes. if OP's only tool for dealing with that is setting silly rules about who she will/won't allow to cross her house's threshold, she is in for a tough few decades' relationship with her adult child.

it's fu**ed up that you think parent should play along with every idiotic idea their child has.

OP's son is in his late 20s. He isn't a child. He's a man. OP is delusional is she thinks she has any control over who "joins her family".

As for the stereotypical judgmental attitudes here about strippers, I can only conclude that none of you know any actual dancers in real life.

The stupid on this thread is surprising, even for DCUM.

Yes and I have no wish to know any real dancers... Don't give it a euphemism, you mean strippers in real life.

It isn't a euphemism. It is a pretty common term when referring to strippers.

They're strippers. And I'm an NP. Not dancers. S-T-R-I-P-P-E-R-S.

And before you get all defensive, no I don't have a problem with women who strip. Fine by me, no shame in it, you're talking to a pretty wild ex-party girl who had the time of her life in college. I don't give a shit about stripping from a moral standpoint. [b]What I do have a problem with is strippers who think they need to pretend to be something than they actually are in order to feel legitimate[/b]. It's like Sasha Grey insisting that her porn is "art" and that she's a porn star for intellectual men because she reads Sartre during sex or some nonsense. Um, no honey, you're a porn star and sex isn't art or an intellectual pursuit, it's just a fun human activity.

Same way, strippers may dance but we all know they are not being watched for the grace of their form, their precision, or the beautiful art of their dance, like a ballerina in Swan Lake or even a sophisticated geisha dancing to the shamisen for her gentlemen customers. They're being watched for their raw sex appeal and the slowly-getting-almost-naked part. So let's not call them dancers. They are strippers.[/quote]

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.
