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.

As respectable as a waitress yes, a teacher no. A teacher demands a higher level of respect for educating young minds.

But women as well as men should be free to wear as much or as little as they wish. Though often tastes will differ between species and even between cultures.

Do not all men and women command equal respect?

A person is not defined by their profession.

I would have to say all beings are worthy of a basic level of respect, but some are worthy of more.

I would disagree.

That is entirely fair. We come from very different societies and times, it is not surprising that there would be different points of view.
