It's kind of bad in Tennessee. Although your sex industry sounds much more charming. Is abigail a stripper now, that would put the comment in context. Today in my class we had a discussion about sexism, it was telling, we ended up talking about how a woman who is drunk can change her mind after the fact and get you arrested. This is what the guys did with a discussion of sexism. I asked, "well did she say no?" and "was she moving around much" I think it's legally relevant. As I understand it the woman has to either say no, or be pretty incapacitated, did you try to get her drunk, is also relevant. Got to love the date where the guy keeps trying to get you to down shots of Giegermister. "Come on what are you a (*&(&", he bellows. Grunt. but anyhoo. And also how, thanks to the Duke rape case, women who report having been sexually assaulted more than once must be lying hookers. I was in a five year relationship and the first guy I went out with afterwards tried to maul me, One date in five years, and the normal looking guy, mauls me when I tell him, "No, I'm not ready to kiss you yet." Of course I must be a hooker right. Because I was assaulted as a teenager too, does it count when they just maul you and you get away, that's happened more than once too? Cute huh. There is a lot of sexual prejudice in this country, the T.V. is rank with it. Also oddly, but not really, many things on T.V. imply exotic dancers are cool and fun, not desperate and on drugs and therefore probably open to selling your kidney for fifty bucks. Some of them are not going to land you a vat of ice I have heard, but it's a very bad industry, and strip clubs here, are on the side of the road. In this town the strip club is actually called the Bus stop, because it's right next to the bus station. How’s that for irony. The T.V. is very strange in this country, I have my doubts as to its legitimacy, has anyone else noticed a sort of dragnet bent towards portraying poor, or anyone less than the ubber ideal American, as toothless white trash with cops, I think it has it's pretty racist moments too. It almost tells stupid people what to say. It certainly doesn't make you want to vote democrat. Lot's of anti drug stuff which is ok I suppose, as long as it is stated as such and not just propaganda. I don't know what the hell is up with "stripper" culture on T.V. I do know it makes hiring an exotic dancer seem ok, if you are a goofy frat boy, which, obviously from the Duke case, it is not. The Duke case is big right now here. It's amazing what people do with it, and if you were some girl who had been sexually assaulted, on a psych level it would not make you want to speak out about it. There are still lots of things like, "well what were you doing alone with him" I love that one, and of course "well you were drinking" God forbid you smoked pot or something, then you really can't tell. The T.V. totally keeps the sexual prejudices in firm place as well as all the working class folks in their jobs, can't be like drunk toothless bob, It's every channel seriously, maybe I'm just like those Gieco cavemen, which in itself has racist overtones, think real hard on social Darwinism. I think it's just stupid white male culture, “I don't have to be PC“, "she didn't love me, but this stupid worthless sluty women who fullfills my fantasy of what that bitch I couldn't have was like, I can buy and abuse?" "With all my anger towards women overall or something?" Maybe sex slaves are just fun. not any real racism I hope. I like the Geico commercial about women too, the one, " Or you can just get your spouse to do it," Very relevant considering the historical status of women, in stupid white male land. That bitch/ho was just using me. But the Gieco commercials are nothing I shouldn't even refer to them. How to describe sexual prejudice, it's horrible, I wish you'all could just see it from my perspective. The T.V. teaches prejudice of a bunch of sorts and how to please your misogynistic man of course. I'm not picking on strippers I'm just saying it's a horrible industry and the women are desperate and desperate people are nuts. I don't even want to think what their daily life must be like.
