Ask Jenna Jameson if the sex industry exploits women. Oh wait, she has already been asked that question. You know something?

Her answer was No.

She's multi-millionaire, if not billionaire. She's retired from porn now - but she now owns a few porn companies. You want to see a very successful woman, that'd be her.

Now about this strip club thing and college. Yes it's true that many strippers do not come from happy backgrounds. But to paint all the women with one brush is absurd.

Work a week at McD's, Wendy's, or any retail store of your choice for a week, and count your earnings. Now work as a stripper for one day. Count your earnings made from just that ONE day. Calculate how long it would take you to pay off that college tuition each way. Still wanna go back to that retail Mcjob? I think I made my point here.

Take a look at Scores or any other strip club. There are bouncers all over the place waiting to throw out any patron who acts out of line. The girls there are well protected, no question. The strip club is there to create a fantasy world, one which is precisely calibrated to appeal to males. But that's not all. Where I live, you see small groups of young Japanese women coming in as customers to watch and simply have a good time. They may or may not solicit a lapdance or two.

But that's no different than what the males are there for. To enter and enjoy a fantasy world to remove them from the day-to-day. After a few hours of that, they leave, and it's back to the real world once again, and carry on.

How is that different from the clubs catered towards women in Japan? The clubs that employ males who cater and are specifically trained to keep a woman enthralled with their company and so on? It's extremely big business in Japan.

This has nothing to with "self-respect" or anything about that. You women have your entertainment, we men have ours. You read Danielle Steele, we read men's mags. Acknowledge that men and woman are DIFFERENT, and DIFFERENT things appeal to each side, instead of judging men "why can't you be like this" or "why can't you be like that".

What about the scenario where the woman had consensual sex with the man, then the next morning felt bad about it, and cries rape?

Happens often.

heheh so she gave an answer which ain't exactly worthy of a Nobel Peace Prize. But so what? It's the title of Miss Teen USA she's competing for, so to me hey - an answer is an answer, however hilarious it may be.

Same thing whenever a mike gets shoved in front of a hockey player along with the most difficult questions on earth for the sweaty, out-of-breath player to somehow form an answer to. They give pretty idiotic answers too.

Same thing.

...the harpies are gonna jump all over this one and tell the LW to kill his brother with a spoon, immediately for abandoning a completely helpless woman in tears.

Well let's turn it around for a second, and reverse the roles.

Suddenly watch all the harpies say "tough shit, men deserve what they get", and make all the excuses in the world for the woman to be able to walk away.

I have a buddy who, all throughout High school, his Asian parents required him to study everyday, and study hard. Mommy would check up on him on a periodic basis to ensure his studies are uninterrupted.

They wanted him to be a doctor, period. So study hard and don't play so much with your friends. Studying is top priority, all else is inconsequential. He brought home the glowing report cards with the multiple A's in every area, and satisfied his parents, who continued to impose strict curfews, limit his social time to about 1 hour a day with friends, and the rest of the day devoted to studying. He wasn't a happy kid, but he did bring home lots of A's, extremely excellent report card. During brief study breaks he would meditate and follow the Buddhist ways. He spoke frequently of death and how we humans lived, so that we could die.

Fast foward 15 years later.

He is balding, and owns a bubble tea shop. Is he a doctor?

Not on your life.

$1.99 a show from Apple? That kind of pricing would make even me, an avid torrenter, seriously stop and think about just getting the show from iTunes and save me the hassle of waiting for it to show up on the torrent sites.

That's if I even used iTunes. But for $5? Are you crazy?

Then it's back to torrenting. I don't HAVE to watch any show the very day it comes out. I can hold out another few days to a week for the next cycle of America's Next Top Model and just watch it, and SANS commercials to boot.

They make it this hard and/or expensive for us to watch the stuff we want, well then we'll just find another way to see it for free.

Fine go ahead and delete it your facebook profile. If you don't wanna be there, we don't want you there either. More space and bandwidth for the rest of us.

Seriously is it really rocket science? Does it really need to be said(again)?

You write something(anything) online, you just entered the Wild West, where anything goes. That's the beauty and danger of the Internet. The risks and rewards are yours for the taking.
