why do we judge STRIPPERS, and not their customers?

i ask myself this question often, since often im judged, but my income is supplemented by the people who are judging me (most of the time)..and it just seems odd these women who receive such criticism(strippers), such as myself, seem to be making a lot of money off of the people who so often look down on us. sounds like confusion? or just a fucked up double standard?

for a long time, "society" has viewed strippers as women who have had to resort to dancing as a means of getting by, assuming that they are dumb and dont have the common knowledge, education, or job experience to gain "real" employment. now as for the MEN who indirectly employ the dancers, they are always viewed as successful, or rich, being able to do whatever they want with their money, including but not limited to using their money as a charming mechanism. so, i guess it is their financial success that releases them from judgement.

i l-ve that the strip industry houses all sorts of women. some are really smart ladies that have other things going on like school, second jobs..etc..and stripping is an option that we take, rather than a shameful choice that we make. being pretty AND smart comes in handy when entertaining rich men via strip clubs. and by the way, many dancers ARE the smarter of the two, and consider it being a craft to be able to get paid to look gorgeous and dance in one spot, nude, giggling, harmlessly flirting away while the songs keep going and the money keeps flowing.

so what makes my customer better than me? of course, as i have said many times before, there are tons of exotic dancers who fit that stereotype that always PLAGUES US TO DEAAAATH no matter how opposite you are to the stigma. but if strippers have such a bad reputation, how come their employers arent equally as damned? and lets be honest, the bad rep probably comes from mostly women, who allow themselves to look past a man being a man, and choose to hate the woman who the man is paying to look at. call it jealousy, hate, insecurity-doesnt matter. you cant avoid that there are women who will always supports her man no matter what and despises the woman who gets paid to fill an obvious void..uh, lets call that void, "entertainment". personally i try not to judge anyone that is generous enough to spend an evening in the club buying drinks and dances all night, especially in this economy. so it is only right that the women who dance for a living get that same respect. if a guy wants to give me money to dance for him nude, he is getting what he wants (the dance), and im getting what i want (the money). sounds like 2 happy people. and in this case money clearly supersedes happiness, because in the end, it is money that distinguishes who is getting judged, and who is not.
