Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

So what's wrong with the strippers?
Nothing wrong with strippers. Just don't confuse good customer service with love.
They said "the stripper" not "a stripper" which if I'm reading it correctly is... Slightly better I guess?
English isn't my first language (not even a second one) so I really don't have a clue about the difference between "the stripper" and "a stripper".
It's all good, what I'm getting at is basically this:
Don't trust the stripper = don't trust a specific one, like the one someone is paying to dance for them at any given time for a hypothetical example
Don't trust a stripper = strippers shouldn't be trusted in general
I mean, I wasn't trying to use it pejoratively or anything... And while I can't say I have any first-hand male stripper knowledge, I'm pretty sure my advice is unisex. 😋
Sure, I guess I could've said something about not commidifying love/affection/etc so it sounded a bit more inclusive of the broad and varied spectrum of sex workers or something, but - as they say - brevity is the soul of wit, after all.
In all seriousness, tho: I meant no offense or anything, but I definitely wasn't going to call them 'exotic dancers' because I just think that's a fucking stupid term, tbh, and I'm super prepared to die on that hill, so come at me bro
Lol no worries friend. Mostly joking. You don't seem to have bad intentions from what I can tell.
