Even if you say that it\x26#8217;s just dancing and good exercise, surely it would be more empowering to learn a dance that can be employed in contexts other than strip clubs? And if, as Francisco claims, it\x26#8217;s \x26#8220;not intended to be sexual\x26#8221;, why is it only for women? Shouldn\x26#8217;t men get the chance to be empowered too? I told you it was sexist!\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x0a\x3cp\x3ePeople talk about sexism against men quite a lot. Everything from being officially excluded from MP selection shortlists to getting turned away from nightclubs is cited as if it demonstrated the utter hypocrisy of all feminist aims. The reactionary view is that it\x26#8217;s all gone so ridiculously far \u2013 political correctness has gone so distressingly, dangerously and self-harmingly insane \u2013 that occasionally, would you believe it, things are now unfair on men! This doesn\x26#8217;t seem to take into account that, if situations weren\x26#8217;t sometimes unfair on men too, it wouldn\x26#8217;t be fair.\x3c/p\x3e\x3cspan class=\x22tumblr_close_quote\x22\x3e\x26#148;\x3c/span\x3e\x0a \x3c/div\x3e\x0a \x0a \x0a \x3cdiv class=\x22tumblr_source\x22\x3e\x0a \x3cp\x3e\x3ca href=\x22http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2010/apr/18/students-pole-dancing-david-mitchell\x22 target=\x22_blank\x22\x3eActually, you won\x26#8217;t find female empowerment halfway up a pole | David Mitchell | Comment is free | The Observer\x3c/a\x3e\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3eDavid Mitchell is right on!\x3c/p\x3e\x0a \x3c/div\x3e\x0a \x0a \x3c/li\x3e\x0a \x0a\x0a \x0a \x0a \x0a \x0a \x0a\x0a \x0a \x0a \x0a\x0a \x0a\x0a \x0a\x0a \x0a \x3cli class=\x22tumblr_post tumblr_link_post\x22\x3e\x0a \x3ca href=\x22http://www.abc.net.au/unleashed/stories/s2862597.htm\x22 class=\x22tumblr_link\x22 target=\x22_blank\x22 \x3eUnholy enthusiasm\x3c/a\x3e\x0a \x0a \x0a \x3cdiv class=\x22tumblr_description\x22\x3e\x0a \x3cp\x3eTerrific article by Jeff Sparrow:\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3eRespectable Australia in the 21st century considers all manner of things sacred. But God, by and large, is not among them. If you want to cause thoroughgoing offence, you might, for instance, try speaking up against the Israeli apartheid state and its Australian partisans, on the basis that a modicum of justice for the Palestinians would do more to counter Islamism than the umpteenth plonking repetition of atheistic arguments already old a century ago. But that, of course, would be much less profitable than standing in the Opera House to tell the glitterati about how little you\x26#8217;re scared by the bogey man.\x3c/p\x3e\x0a \x3c/div\x3e\x0a \x0a \x3c/li\x3e\x0a \x0a \x0a \x0a \x0a \x0a\x0a \x0a \x0a \x0a\x0a \x0a\x0a \x0a\x0a \x0a \x0a \x0a \x3cli class=\x22tumblr_post tumblr_video_post\x22\x3e\x0a \x3cdiv class=\x22tumblr_video\x22\x3e\x0a \x3ciframe width=\x22400\x22 height=\x22300\x22 src=\x22http://www.youtube.com/embed/MaCZN2N6Q_I?wmode=transparent\x26autohide=1\x26egm=0\x26hd=1\x26iv_load_policy=3\x26modestbranding=1\x26rel=0\x26showinfo=0\x26showsearch=0\x22 frameborder=\x220\x22 allowfullscreen\x3e\x3c/iframe\x3e\x0a \x3c/div\x3e\x0a \x0a \x0a \x3cdiv class=\x22tumblr_caption\x22\x3e\x0a \x3cp\x3e\x3ca href=\x22http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaCZN2N6Q_I\x22 target=\x22_blank\x22\x3eHot Chip - \x26#8216;I Feel Better\x26#8217;\x3c/a\x3e (via \x3ca href=\x22http://youtube.com/user/PeterSerafinowicz\x22 target=\x22_blank\x22\x3ePeterSerafinowicz\x3c/a\x3e)\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x0a\x3cp\x3eNot enough reasons to love \x3cspan class=\x22hLink fn n contributor\x22\x3ePeter Serafinowicz?
