girl – im assuming girl – has a plan. can’t fault that.

The valedictorian of my high school went into stripping rather than starting college. She made money with her looks for a few years and got her degree.

I knew strippers who stayed off drugs and booze, each had their home paid off at 29 and drove new cars.

If you can stay out off the “lifestyle” you can mate a great deal of money.

Atlanta really is the city of strippers though. The highest peak being The Claremont Lounge, of course.

Apparently is a real strip club in Atlanta

Post High School plans: try to undo the damage high school did to me. Especially the stuff they stone walled me in while I was there.

I mean, that’s fine. We are so weird about the body.

Want to be someone that demonstrates the beauty of the human body in various ways? No problem, gymnasts, ballet dancers, etc are all noble goals.

Want to be someone that creates sexual desire in others with their body? NO NO OMG NO YOU’RE DISGUSTING. SEXUAL DESIRE IS WRONG. Strippers gonna strip. Normalizing these kind of choices and creating a supportive, reasonable environment that also has mechanisms to prevent abuse is the rational, normal response. You can really see how judeo-christian values continue to dominate the world.

Want to give someone pleasure physically with your body? Massage therapy is noble, prostitution is bad. Want to have sex for money? No if you’re not recording it, yes if you are.

I’m not, like, affirming all choices for all things or whatever, but we really need to get over some shit in a lot of cultures in this world.

And please, please note: almost all the above examples are about policing how women use their bodies not men.
