W0W!

Honestly, I never thought about the guys who actively participate in burlesque getting such negative attacks. In after-thought, though, I feel silly for having had that initial reaction.

And now I just feel kinda sad, because when anyone does that to anybody (and I think it's slightly worse to be a guy being accused of abusing the sight of naked girls when he isn't, than it is to tell a girl who's clearly enjoying herself that she's degrading herself ---because of issues regarding gaze and object, yadda yadda... and awww how awful!).

Seriously though, I think I never thought of such a reaction initially because it seems fairly obvious to me that your run-of-the-mill uber-pervs would most likely just sit around watching porn, and creep on girls on the walk down to the strip club. Y'know???

Yeesh.
