I would like to say a word about sexual harrassment as being present when I was a stripper. I am happy to say that, as far as I know, it was not even present on the Al Baker theater circuit or in most of the other places where I performed as a stripper. Out of being a stripper for approximately twenty years, I can truly say that I only encountered two major sexual harassment issues. I think that was above the average for any job during those years.
That is more than I can say for a lot of the so-called respectable jobs women had back then. A lot of the professional women I knew would tell me how they were intiminated into having sex with their employers in order to keep their jobs. I am talking about jobs such as nurses and secretaries. One lawyer told me, "We had a lot of girls apply for the receptionist job today. We hired the one with the biggest tits. That's what got her the job".
Being a stripper is not protected by the so-called respectable smoke screen as the highre uppitty jobs are even today. We bare it all - not only our bodies but, also, our souls. It is the most unhypocritical job in our society. I am very proud to have been a part of it and feel that I still am.
