The resonating part of Kim's statement for me is the final one, about the context. That's a risk anyone takes when they make a statement,
be it with their bodies or otherwise. Madonna became a legend off exploitation, being exploited herself, then exploiting her own exploitation. Most women who tried to follow her failed 'cause they were not as savvy.
Each individual woman has to understand the possibility that she could be misunderstood and whether it would negate potential positives. I have
no idea how easy that is to reconcile; you think a lot of strippers, whores, and young buxom singers are thinking as they cavort, "I'm possibly warping a guys perception of what women should be in society and what their roles are?" No, they're thinking $$$. They give a fuck about context, the bigger picture.
Finally: strip clubs=one of the least-sexy things ever.
