If my daughter were thinking of stripping, I'd do my damnedest to talk her out of it. There are certain professions that I simply do not feel are appropriate for my children. Stripping and politics (seriously) are 2 of them.
I do not object to the profession, and in my younger days even went to a few strip bars. And enjoyed them immensely, but they were strictly for entertainment, with my friends. It was like watching a movie or a sporting event... fun with the guys, and no more about sex than any other social, drinking activity with them. (I do have a friend who stripped for awhile, strictly for the money and the fact that HE enjoyed it immensely... not quite the same thing)
The risks are great for women stripping, even those who are in it strictly for financial reasons or because they just like to do it. Drugs and prostitution are two of the obvious ones, and the "Pretty Woman" outcome is vanishingly rare. Drawn into stripping, if they don't get out quickly, these woman do not move "up" the scale towards call girl/elite escort. It just doesn't happen. Stripping itself is not the real problem, it's the ancillary conditions it brings... drugs, prostitution (not itself necessarily a bad thing), crime, sex trafficking, etc. There are solutions, but North American societies are not prepared to accept them, and organised crime is doing all it can to maintain the status quo.
