I realise that, yes, such events do objectise women, but who's really being exploited? the woman making money from shaking her thang or the guys getting all hot under the collar and losing control over their wallets? besides, a lot of women who pole dance, it sounds ignorant for me to say, but it's still true in some cases, are not all to bright... they'd never become doctors, teachers or businesswomen, all they have going for them is their attractiveness (which wont last forever)... If I was an attractive woman (theres something I havent asked myself before, lol) and I was given the choice between working in a crummy resteraunt or supermarket for minimum wage (from experience, THAT is real exploitation!!!) or sliding up and down a greasy pole and having money stuffed in my cleavage I know what I'd pick! and my display of ignorance continues; if I were a pole dancer I would no doubt hold out the hope of seducing a rich old man who'd "save me from this horrible life!"... oh, I dunno... perhaps it being organised as a national event is taking it a step up from mild pornography (as it's currently viewed as) into something more legitimate, which can only be a boost in confidence for the women who do it for a living...

and my display of ignorance continues;

It has become more of an excercise routine in many places and in my opinion, at least in the UK, it no longer carries the stigma it once may have (and nope ive not even contemplated giving it a go lol)

But, in some other places such as US, it still carries the stigma. In China, quite a lot of people can not identify with pole dancing. Is it due to the cultural differences?
