Changes

But from early on in this book the stall is set out that any woman who deigns to take part in this is a worker in the sex industry, is handing all form of control over her and her gender's body, sexuality and regard to the ravenous hands of men, and is being a bit stupid if she can't see a better way to earn a dignified pound. I took this to be an academic volume, and the publishers are certainly generally behind serious non-fiction, but this has 'bias' written through it like a stick of rock.

It seems much weaker when you're someone who went to an audition for a men's club once, didn't get it, and is featured here, or the solicitor whose inclusion implies this is but one step in the global sexist objectification of women. But I have to respond principally to the 'wife' here, for her viewpoint will intrigue more than any one person's story of working in this side of glamour. This woman is one who is so against lapdancing, that when she finds her fiancee has witnessed one, she nearly cancels the marriage, as in her mind, just wedding the bloke would further the denigration of females worldwide. At one point she tells him off for a seeming one-off (which through the editing seems to have happened three times!), at other points hates the fact he loves her too much to even notice the colour of the hair of the girl he reluctantly pays. And the whole subject is so abhorrent she reproduces old emails to him and to a friend here, detailing the whole thing.
