Essay on Why Girls Become Strippers

In the words of RuPaul, one of the most well known drag queens in todays times, “If you can’t love yourself, how in the hell are you gonna love someone else.” Since the 1500s, men can be seen dressing up as women for entertainment and comedic effect, but since then drag has evolved from just grand performances to a symbol for acceptance and individuality. Recently, drag has been dissected and looked at under a microscope by those who only see what is on the sparkly surface. What has been found is that drag culture is much more that its initial appearance, but that there is an entire set of values that define what drag truly is, one of which, and probably the most popular, is being confident in ones identity. Being able to take on an alter

Prostitution is one of the oldest and most controversial professions on earth. According to records, prostitution was a normal practice of the earliest known civilizations. Ancient Greeks and Roma governments went as far as sponsoring brothels to ensure their citizens could afford a prostitute. The emergence of religions like Christianity and Islam transformed the moral views on prostitution. Following a tremendous pressure from the religious authorities, many European countries started to ban the practice on the bases of being immoral and harmful to society. The king of Spain made prostitution punishable law. Those caught could face a harsh punishment or they could be exiled. Pope Sixths of Rome went as far as making prostitution punishable by death .Despite the laws drafted by the authorities, people continued to provide and use sexual services. In this modern era, we are still debating the ethics of prostitution. Most people claim that prostitution is morally degrading and harmful to the wellbeing of society. While others claim that legalizing prostitution can help create tax revenues, undermine organized crime and reduce the spread of disease. Using utilitarianism, virtue ethics and Kant deontology I will prove that prostitution is immoral and it should be banned.

In strip clubs women must act like women by expressing the traditional female behavior and roles as well as dressing and performing femininely. The article’s data illustrates that strip clubs have distinctive organizational cultures that is established on different social class and customers. Club owners believe that sexuality has to be depended on client class norms by how the clubs and dancers consider working class or middle class must be demonstrated. The clubs that provide to a middle class crowd present one form of sexuality, at the same time, a peaceful form of display demonstrates a working class clubs. Having said that, women at strip clubs perform not only as sexualized women but also as classed women.

Boys & Girls Clubs of America is a program that was introduced in the 1860’s in Hartford Connecticut. “Believing that boys who roamed the streets should have a positive alternative, they organized the first Club. A cause was born.” Now made up of more than 4,300 clubs and in their 103rd year, the goal of these clubs is “to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.”

Girls develop a dependency on their pimps. Kristina Davis wrote in her article "How Girls Get Lured into Brothels" for The San Diego Union Tribune "They are plied with alcohol and drugs."(Davis) The pimps get the girls hooked on drugs and alcohol to get the girls to need them. The girls become addicted to the substances and need their pimps to supply them with more. In return, the pimps make then work as prostitutes for them. Although the girls develop a physical dependency due to drugs and alcohol, girls can also become emotionally dependent on their pimps. The pimps use friendship and kindness to trick the girls into having an emotional dependency to them. Kristina Davis wrote in her article "How Girls Get Lured into Brothels" for The San Diego Union Tribune '"They are made to believe in the beginning that they are cared for, and by then it’s too late,"' (Davis) The pimps make the

For as long as media has been around, women have been sexualized in order to sell products. It’s a known fact by brands and consumers alike: sex sells. No one can deny this fact, it’s everywhere. Turn on your radio, you’ll hear songs describing women as nothing more than pieces of meat, objects to look at. Turn on your televison and you’ll see advertisements for inherentlyunsexual products like beer or a burger, but it will accompanied by a half naked woman. Walk into any convenience store, and you will find half a dozen magazine with airbrushed models in bikinis, some of these models so young that they cannot even drive. At what age does it become okay to start sexualizing women, or is it never okay? Some would say the age of legality, which is eighteen, but young Hollywood starlets such as Kylie Jenner and Ariel Winter were victims of the media’s obsession with sexualization before they even turned sixteen. It is an understatement to say that the media has gone too far in many instances. It’s as if as soon as girls reach the age of puberty, they fair game to the media as objects of scrutiny and sexualization. It has gone from bad to worse. The way the media sexualizes women, especially famous teenage girls, is wrong and has

Everywhere you turn, there are magazine covers, movies, reality TV shows that portray woman in a sexual light. When was the last time that we as a society sat down and realized the effect that this is having on young girls, teens and even grown women. The portrayal of women as sexual objects in these and many other types of media have greatly affected the mindset of society. What affects has this had you ask? There are there main effects that we will explore. First, is the effect it has on their self-image. Second, is the effect on how they portray themselves in their relationships. Third is the effect it has on their mental state.

Sexual favours in return for money, just the thought of this has people cringing, although laws have deemed to move forward with the idea of prostitution it seems although socially there has not been much progress. The idea of prostitution still scares, or one could even go as far to say it disgusts people. The lack of knowledge and awareness of the details of sex work create this ongoing hate towards sex work, which continues to stigmatize sex workers. Regardless of changing laws, regardless of changing policies, why is it that sex workers are still afraid to proudly announce that their job is in fact the job of a sex worker? Unfortunately, it seems as though the idea of sex work that seems to be such a terrible one is not what bothers sex workers the most, it is the social misconception of what sex work is like that leads these individuals to feel highly stigmatized (Van der Meulen and Redwood, 2013). The primary harm for of prostitution seems to be the stigma against prostitution, women involved in prostitution are considered socially invisible as full human beings (Farley, 2004). Why is it that our changing and progressing laws are still unable to remove this stigma from the lives of sex workers? This paper will argue that prostitution laws continue to produce stigma around sex work. It will argue this through revisiting the historical laws, examining present laws and ongoing laws at this time.

This can be epitomized by the movie The Bachelorette by Leslye Headland, where a sex worker is shown to ask a client for 300 dollars for a one finger touch of her stomach and is okay with being paid in cocaine rather than money. Sex workers, such as the stripper that was presented in The Bachelorette, are portrayed as workers who only seek to trick men out of more money or drugs, and as women who “deserve” the hard life of prostitution consequently for their deviant lifestyle choices. This portrayal negatively generalizes sex workers as workers whose primary objective is to scheme in order to have an influx of and an abundance of cash, when in fact many work for less than minimum wage and are working to stay above the poverty line. As Neon Wasteland by Susan Dewey notes many of the workers that started operating in sex work do so after failing to find jobs that can provide them the same amount of income and relative flexibility that sex work provides (Preface).

Each year, there are approximately 80,000 American citizens who are arrested for soliciting sex; legalizing prostitution would dramatically decrease crime rates across the country. Along with lowering crime rates, legalizing prostitution would result in economic improvement, lower unemployment rates, and safer working environments for workers in the sex industry. Since prostitution is illegal, sex workers aren’t charged taxes on their revenue, which negatively impacts the economy. The government would gain a substantial amount of money by applying taxes to sex workers, in order to do that, however, prostitution would need to be legalized, since it would be illegal for the government to make a profit from illegal actions.

There are several reasons a woman decides to leave prostitution. Drug addiction is strong among prostitutes, and if she is allowed to keep any money she earns she typically spends it on drugs (Campbell & Robbins, 2011). Abuse is rampant in prostitution. Emotional abuse is common as it is easy to develop an emotional bond with a pimp, making it difficult to leave

Latent lesbianism, low intelligence, a home life of abuse, and desperate poverty head the list of possible reasons. Nevertheless, no one has been able to isolate a specific set of social factors that leads to prostitution. Current books by prostitutes and new scientific studies have prompted Vern and Bonnie Burlough, from the book The First Sex, to conclude that prostitution is, largely, "simply another occupation"(Fisher 208). If in fact, prostitution is looked upon as another occupation, then why not create a win-win situation. Prostitutes would contribute monetarily to society and would have in return rights to health benefits and retirement would be ensured. According to the "World Charter For Prostitutes' Rights," prostitutes themselves believe that they should "pay regular taxes on the same basis as other independent contractors and employees, and should receive the same benefits."

There are many cases as to why people get into prostitution. One of the most common reasons women decide to become a sex worker is usually to help pay for schooling, or other financial debt. Here in California minimum wage is now about ten dollars an hour which is not nearly enough money to support oneself, let alone pay for college loans. In an AlterNet article Celine Bisette talks about how people let ignorance get the best of them as they assume her being a prostitute is a product of sexual abuse. Celine states,” The reality is that I had a happy childhood that was completely devoid of abuse of any kind. I grew up in a very ordinary middle class family. My parents cooked dinner for me every night, helped me with my homework, and told me they loved me every single day.” When people make judgements about why sex workers are doing what they are doing it puts these workers in an uncomfortable position, making them regretful and embarrassed about a job that they like doing.

Prostitution is a profession that has been around for thousands of years despite being a controversial topic in many parts of the world. In the modern world, the ethics of prostitution have been debated with many people viewing the profession as immoral. Prostitution is an exploitative and harmful profession for the sex workers. Since women account for a majority of those who engage in prostitution, these negative impacts affect women more. Also, prostitution is a gendered institution that strengthens and
