I hate to think of that profession as a thing of the past because other women who didn't strip for a living found it to be 'wrong' or a setback for woman's equality!

mnealtx 0 #103 September 26, 2005 QuoteQuote>By the same definition, wouldn't an "all-women-way", such as >JFTC, be equally as sexist and discriminatory? Sure. Heck, women's bathrooms are sexist and discriminatory, but other than college they've been the norm everywhere I've gone. I could understand Mike pulling that old chestnut out of the fire, Bill ...but you? For decades, (the norm, you might say ) those opposed to women rising above wives and prostitutes (a centuries old norm) pull that old chestnut out of the fire. Nothing evil about JFTC, I just believe organizations based on gender discrimination have outlived their usefulness while continuing to promote stereotypes. Of course, that's just my unbiased view. jen Ok, let me make sure I have this straight - an all men's event is sexist and discriminatory, but an all women's event is not? How do you figure?Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim. POPS 9708 , SCR 14706 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No I think what she's saying is JFTC isn't attempting to be discriminatory, however any gender specific event is out dated and has outlived it usefulness.Keith Don't Fuck with me Keith - J.

rhys 0 #106 September 26, 2005 QuoteNo I think what she's saying is JFTC isn't attempting to be discriminatory, however any gender specific event is out dated and has outlived it usefulness. jftc is a gender specific event and has proven very useful giving experience to many woman skydivers and raising money for charity! everybody wins that takes part. so men cant perform. whoop de do. a 165 way would not be a new world record if men took part. the interest would be less and less money would be raised. so in this case a gender specific event is very useful indeed."When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have no problem with women who choose to strip or whatever for money. I would prefer a society that had fewer restrictions on other options, however.----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it".
