Apparently the tough job market is prompting a growing number of women across the country to dance in strip clubs, appear in adult movies or pose for magazines like Hustler. These women are attracted by the promise of flexible schedules and fast cash with many having college degrees and previously held white-collar jobs until the economy soured. Word is the job gives the women more control and flexibility than sitting in a cubicle added with the fact that more money is coming in to their bank accounts.
According to the article, dancers at the upscale clubs can make $100,000 to $300,000 a year, pure cash. Now wait a minute here, what happened to the days when we had the Jane Fonda’s screaming about women’s rights in the office and the workplace. Do not get me wrong, I would love to have $300K cash at the end of each year, but at what point in time does this become demeaning to those females partaking? I was under the impression that leveling the playing field for females was to prevent females from being limited to degrading occupations such as those involved in the adult entertainment industry. Maybe someone can help me out here, is our society moving forward or are we regressing because of the “state of the economy?”
