I am finding the differences between the treatment of men and women far more disturbing than I ever thought they would be. When I was a woman, I think that I was too used to the way I was treated to see clearly how internalized such things could be, and how deeply such things persist in our society.

So following from that thought, I should like to ask some questions. I think perhaps just one at a time, since there is much to think about and discuss about each.

So, to begin.

Would you consider a woman who works, of her own free will and with no pressure or compulsion, in a strip club to be equally respectable to, say, a teacher or a waitress? Please explain your answer either way.

I hope that she wouldn't feel the need to. But if she wanted to [...] I can't tell her it's okay for other women but not her.

I don't own her or her body.

I wouldn't be okay with it. I'm not afraid to admit it. I don't want other men looking at her, lusting after her. I don't want them to look at her as an object of sex, because so many do it already. And she deserves to have people look at her as a person before she's a body for them to desire.

It feels wrong.

But still you are gracious to give her that choice. Many men would forbid it outright, on threat of violence.

You see your feelings as your feelings, and not necessarily as what is absolutely right, no matter what the circumstance.

And yet, from what I hear, she was...purchased from her father, was she not?

The terms of our marriage are not open for discussion. I'm sorry.

I am sorry. I do not mean to pry.
