Michael, I totally take your point. I happen to agree with what you are saying, just adding my two cents worth.
Stephen thank you saying what I wanted to say, I wrote that in a rush on my way out without previewing (oh the horror).

I am not going to recount here the occasions, cultural or otherwise, that I have seen people take their clothes off for other people. There have actually been a few, one involved a pregnant woman, a lot of paint and a bucket of water......but I digress.
However, I would not want to be too glib about the objectification of women and how that feeds into power structures. I am thinking of one country of my acquaintance. In this country X amount of the workforce are woman but only X amount of the people in high level positions are woman. People do A LOT of business after hours. Quite a substantial portion of this takes place with women serving them in various ways. For example pouring them drinks, lighting their fags, laughing at their jokes, dancing etc. This boys club mentality is one of the many ways that woman are excluded from positions of influence.In the case over the ditch I really see a storm in a teacup or a d cup. Whatever. But that doesn't mean that the issue of women taking their clothes off for money is a complete non-issue.

I once saw a male belly dancer who was pretty much a male stripper.
My thoughts were, leave it to the women buddy.Ahem......leaving to do some work now.

ogling not ogled (or is it oggling?)

International Observer
I don't know that women ogled oiled up, overtaned beefcakes really is a celebration of womens sexuality. It certainy is not a celebration of mine. But it is hardly the final word on why women might feel objectified in society.
Having said that, the sooner this sideshow gets out of the news the better. -
Nah, I was getting something else. More like taking the piss out of Key for getting blokey browny points out of "admitting to red blooded male behaviour".

Yeah I thought that was pretty funny too. Naughty, naughty vandals interfering with the holy wiki.

And it was like giving four sharp knocks at the door of unhappiness.
