Strippers are a good example, in reputable clubs anyway. They need to be attractive and athletic to attract money, but if you go the grope security will bounce you out on your head. Look but don't touch.

I hate that things like grid and dart girls are losing their jobs. Why shouldn't attractive women make some easy money just standing around? Ugly beasts who protest that kind of stuff are just jealous.

Yeah for sure!

There's a market for it, there always will be. Who doesn't like seeing a hot chick looking sizzling hot :?

Well women aren't going to report rapes or assaults in Islamic countries where they get charged with adultery unless 3 males testify for them.

^ Precisely! Whereas in Sweden you can get charged with rape for lying about wearing a condom. Always important to be aware of this stuff when reading crime stats.

The only crime stats that can be relied upon to provide comparability across major countries or historic periods are grievous bodily harm + manslaughter + murder.

Murder rates alone tell you little, because modern surgical and response techniques mean that many cases (esp knife crime) which would have been murder thirty years ago now fall back into GBH. Rape has been politicised to such an extent that comparisons are misleading.

Seemed clear to me.

Allegations were made, show was cancelled and complainant was paid off, claim being made is that the allegations were BS.

It depends on the nature of the allegations whether a co actor could reasonably know for sure what happened.

Why does someone who was there and says nothing happened have less credibility than someone who was there and says 'Me Too"?
