Badass Stripper Articles: "Dancing Days" & "Strippers: 5 Things Men Should Know"

Via the *awesome* contributors over at my favorite stripping blog, Tits & Sass, I have a few badass articles about stripping I'd like to share with you today.

The first, "Dancing Days" by Elizabeth Greenwood for The New Inquiry, is an excellent short article about the portrayal of male strippers in "Magic Mike" versus the portrayal of female strippers in film.

It's definitely worth reading, although I can't say I completely agree with everything Greenwood has to say. The majority is quite sound & worth the five minutes of your time (especially if you have seen or intend to see the film). I find it interesting that Greenwood's fellow theater goers obviously had a very different reaction to Mike's (Channing Tatum) "I am not my job" scene. If you missed it, you can read my commentary about "Magic Mike" here.

The other article I'd like to share is "Strippers: 5 Things Men Should Know" by Sarah Stefanson for AskMen.com. Except, these are five things *everyone* should know about strippers. It's just so refreshing when someone else outside the industry pops up to acknowledge things like...

A-fucking-men. The rest of the five things are just as lovely to read, although, I'd like to point out that a lot of dancers make a lot less than you might think, too. We spend far too much time working for free via customers who remain blissfully ignorant of strip club etiquette and economics. But I digress...

Definitely check these two badass articles out while I'm in between posts. Let me know what you think. And do be sure to check out Tits & Sass!
