I'm sorry but my path of a good life doesn't go any where near exposing my body for the pleasure of men. I would rather impress a guy with my brains and charm.
And no, I don't believe that some women have to strip to get money. That's a poor exuse. Just think of how many jobs there are out there for a woman: waitress, childcare/babysitting, maid, receptionist, librarian, cashier, zoo keeper, construction worker...the list goes on! And most of those jobs that I listed don't even require a college degree. Your friend could use that job as a stepping stone for something even greater, such as college to become a pharmacist.

I hope you only wear neck to ankle clothing--no short skirts, no low cut/v-neck tops. No dangly earrings, and that you either keep your hair short or wear it up. You shouldn't wear tight jeans, or tight slacks, and DEFINITELY not heels.
Otherwise you, too, are buying into the sexual image of women.
Admit it--for a night on the town, you WANT to look "sexy" not "modest".
Every one of the jobs you listed makes less in a week than a stripper makes in a NIGHT. If you have kid(s) to support, no education, and are looking to make something better of yourself, stripping is a good way to get that money--you can work 2 nights a week, go to school days, and actually BE there for your kids too!
I can understand your point about feeling that women that strip don't have any self-respect. I do, however, know 4 women who have been strippers. One was desperate for ANY money. One just wanted a job to help pay for school that wasn't going to take away from her time for school and homework, one was a drug addict and used it to pay for her habit, and one just truly enjoyed the power trip it gave her. Two of them stopped stripping as soon as they finished college.
Frankly, it's a personal choice. A woman that chooses to strip for a living should be JUST as supported by her friends/family as a woman that decides to act for a living. I mean, these days, both occupations come with the expectation that you'll be taking your clothes off. Same with modeling too, I guess.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and I'm not saying you can't have yours about this. I'm just pointing out that it's hypocritcal of you to EVER want to look sexy, then say that you don't want to be seen as a sex object. (the "you" here is in general, not targeting BB here). I also think it's somewhat silly to point out those jobs as possible "substitutes" for stripping--the pay scale isn't even CLOSE.
