My morality? And what is that? A bad diet doesn't have to be immoral to be a bad diet. She has a bad job, a rotten job, one she doesn't need to have -- she's a pretty woman and unfraid of the public, she could be a receptionist, any number of things -- a real estate agent even.

To bring up another aspect ... Does being a stripper help her at all in finding a decent man to help her raise her child -- to marry? Doesn't the child deserve a father?

My morality? And what is that?

I don't know about all your morals but clearly stripping for a living goes against them.

A bad diet doesn't have to be immoral to be a bad diet.

But even a bad diet is better than no diet, right?

She has a bad job, a rotten job, one she doesn't need to have -- she's a pretty woman and unfraid of the public, she could be a receptionist, any number of things -- a real estate agent even.

Not necessarily. As I'm sure you know, there are an enormous number of qualified people who have found themselves looking for a job since the Clinton recession came to town. Competition for jobs is now more fierce than at any time in the past several years. I am assuming this woman, like most other strippers, has little education and few office skills. Add to that the burden of having a "tainted" past and she starts her job search with a number of strikes against her. As I asked another poster on this thread, would you employ a stripper with few skills and little or no education over dozens of qualified applicants with no such job history? The last person I asked this question of refused to answer. Silence on this issue speaks volumes.

To bring up another aspect ... Does being a stripper help her at all in finding a decent man to help her raise her child -- to marry? Doesn't the child deserve a father?

First of all, you don't know that the child doesn't have a father, and you don't know that marriage will get her step-father interested in replacing her father. Secondly, while that's certainly a worthy goal, I think we can both agree that women shouldn't simply wait around, hoping for Mr. Right to show up. This woman has a child to provide for, whether she is married or not.
