However, social change cannot only be concerned with the individual, and I think this is where a feminist argument against strip clubs is well-founded. Indeed, if you are going to be seen as a sexual object anyway, why not get paid for it? On top of this, I can recognise an incredibly empowering irony behind women choosing to profit from the fact that many men will pay money to objectify their bodies. One stripper objects that ‘if I have the confidence and the courage to use my body, then why should anybody have the right to take that choice away from me?’ Some may also go further, arguing strippers are actually working to challenge the way that dominant sexual norms have kept women from owning their own sexuality and exercising autonomy over their bodies. As strip clubs are an opportunity for women to do just this, banning them runs contrary to the movement. What’s more, many reasonably argue that at its core, feminism should make granting women choices and self-determination over their bodies a priority. If you are going to be seen as a sexual object anyway, why not get paid for it? Perhaps, then, concerns that strip clubs are a vehicle for exploitation are misguided. In reality, a third of strippers are students supporting their education and a quarter are university graduates. So, the victimhood of strippers can and has been contested, and the idea that under-privileged and desperate women are the majority of those who find themselves in the profession is arguably nothing more than a common misconception. According to another, ‘all the dancers I’ve ever met over the 20 years I danced for are self-possessed, independent and took a logical choice’. The women of the East London Stripper Collective are particularly vocal about their right to choose the profession, with one member arguing that feminists who label strippers as victims are no more objectifying than the men who attend strip clubs. Seemingly, there is more consensus between Icelandic feminists than there is in the UK, where the choice-feminism argument stands strong against the position that stripping is exploitative and degrading. The ban was not a particularly controversial move either, as a 2007 poll revealed that less than 10% of Icelanders were opposed to the criminalisation of paying for sex in brothels or strip clubs. This move was hailed as a feminist decision, and one which would hopefully be a catalyst for changing attitudes towards women: ‘I guess the men of Iceland will just have to get used to the idea that women are not for sale’, said one Icelandic politician. Jóhanna Sigurðardóttir, the country’s first female Prime Minister and the world’s first openly lesbian head of state, introduced a law making any commodification of nudity illegal, thus implicating the closure of strip clubs. These sorts of concerns are why, in 2010, Iceland placed a ban on strip clubs. Whilst I recognise the value of a female right to choose, I cannot help but see strip clubs as a space which legitimises the idea that female bodies are vehicles for male enjoyment. On the contrary, feminists like myself are concerned with the potentially exploitative environment sex work and the objectification of women that strip clubs undeniably perpetuate.
On the one hand, there are feminists who advocate a right to choose stripping as a profession as an exercise of autonomy over one’s body and understandably many strippers resent others claiming their victimhood. Buzzwords such as ‘empowering’ and ‘degrading’ seem to be thrown around, with a lack of consensus on which is the more appropriate description. But right now my fingers hurt from typing this description and I'm using mobile data.For the modern feminist, an undeniably contentious and complex debate surrounds strip clubs.
Maybe someday I will allow it to be possible for everyone to do everything. So I deleted that bit.Īlso I found it disturbing that children were adoption officers. I did allow NPCs to apply to jobs themselves but sometime there would be a crash and NPCs would go missing.
