sad lives
It’s very sad. Most of them don’t like men very much.
I once went to a large topless bar in Anchorage. It was a slow Sunday night so there were only 48 girls working. One woman, dressed in a neat pantsuit, kept track of the girls, making sure they all took their turns on stage. We struck up a conversation and she told me that most of the girls were single moms or married to enlisted men from one of the two military bases. She emphasized that none of them doubled as prostitutes or that they indulged in “hard” drugs. Every one of them took frequent drug tests and if they were caught selling themselves for sex they would be immediately fired and blackballed in Alaska. Since they made such good money (about $700 a night) they were very conscientious about following the rules.
Since then my wife and I had a stripper living with us for a few months. She had no drug problems (except tobacco,) no children and any sex abuse was probably initiated by her. (She was kinda horny!) All in all she was a pretty neat young lady. These days she does have a baby (by choice) and a job in an office environment. I’m really glad to have met her.
That church did well by the one stripper it led to a better life. Maybe they can do more now that the strippers have come to the church itself.
