And there I was thinking stripping was an exploitative manifestation of our patriarchal society.

Suicide Girls, the celebrated pay-per-view indie soft-porn site is coming to town in the form of a burlesque show, and we're supposed to be out of our minds with the titillating acceptability of it all.

And the best thing is that it's empowering!! (says someone called 'Fanny Suicide' so, you know, take it with a grain of salt or three.)

Yes, 'empowerment'; that word that we can thank for fat girls who get their baps out at peace rallies. So, despite the inescapable truth that someone is paying someone else* to remove their clothes, as long as its being enjoyed by appropriate hep-cats and faux-mosexuals in an ironic fashion, then it's entirely kosher. Keeping in mind of course that its these same cultural stasi that like to beat up on anybody who indulges in porn in its many alternative forms.

One wonders what would happen if someone was to, say, head down to the Suicide Girls show and unironically jack off. Any takers?
