I just stared at her for several minutes and told her I'd meet them later for drinks. I don't want to know how to work a pole, why would I degrade myself that way? Her and her suburban friends can go do that and believe they are being wild and sexy in their soccer mom hair and sensible heeled sandals. As for me, I'm not a stripper and have never found myself in a position where I needed the cash so badly I was willing to dance naked for money. Sorry for the mini-rant, I just get annoyed with glamorizing something that I find quite dehumanizing. (And I'm just killing time until The Office, Earl and 30 Rock come on.)

LL's character in <i>I Knew This Would Flop</i> was that of a stripper. That pretty much sums up her whole caracter. There actually is a difference. Geronimo- <i>Opposite of Sex</i> is brilliant!

I don't think wearing a pig's nose is quite the same thing. Kidman and Theron and a couple of others were taking great glee in not being pretty. The pig nose is not to make her character look ugly, it's for a different reason altogether. Ricci's actual quote isn't all that bad. The intro paragraph provided by the writer added in a reference to Lohan and "creating a culture of women who find flattery in misogyny." Ricci may have had something like that, but it's not in the quoted text. Brave man, Jason Segal.

Female nudity, even when the woman is crying is always sexualized. Re: Male nudity

In Black Snake Moan, she was naked 90% of the movie, was fucked more then once during the movie and she is going to talk about anyone else.. sorry.. can't take anything she says even with a grain of salt for she is a hypocrite.
