What do you think about strip clubs?

A n00b asked a seemingly innocent question pertaining to the type of women one would want to see at a strip club.

Maybe it’s just me, but I find them to be denigrating in the very least. I think they are a hop skip and jump from prostitution, and wish they would be done away with.

I am probably naive. Maybe I am completely wrong here. I have a teenage daughter and cannot think of anything that would sadden me more than for her to strip in front of men for money.

I am not judging the women who do. It is their body to do with as they please. I am not judging the men, who for some reason require this kind of entertainment (and I have gone to them in the (distant) past – with “the guys”). I am, shall we say, sad that we need these places.

Thoughts?
