BC high school students target strip club for 'social justice' class project

This is an example of indoctrination that many youth have today, as someone who has spent a good chunk of life being in such an indoctrination system of public education here in BC it doesn't surprise me. What amazes me is that the teacher made this a mandatory class project, and encouraged "social justice" using poor data (the textbook is based on biased information obtained in the us) not to mention they try to protect the "victim" strippers, when in reality, this is how the strippers earn their living! It's also funny to see that they traveled from their city to go protest in another city. This place is totally legal.
Quote:"Men can go in there and treat women as objects and it isn't fair to them," student Ryan Leppert told the News Leader.
Ryan said he doesn't accept that women have a right to choose to be strippers, prostitutes or porn stars.
"We don't believe it is [their choice], we believe it is a desperate attempt to get money or a lot of them have been forced into it," he said.
"I know I used to joke about strip clubs, they were just kind of funny, but after learning everything that goes on in them I don't find it funny at all. It's a serious matter."
This is why I hate the region I live in and hate the majority of people I had to deal with here while in public school.

RE: BC high school students target strip club for 'social justice' class project
This is where the progressives begin to run into trouble with each other.
On one wing, you've got progressives who think sex work is exploitative and ought to be attacked. The fact that such work is often enjoyed by men is a key reason for this hostility, since it is viewed as a tool men use to exploit women for their own pleasure. Their vision of female empowerment doesn't include the use of the flesh-"girl power" is attained in classrooms, not on stripper poles and porn sets. Their limited view here is quite strictly adhered to as that quote from the student showed-they simply deny the notion that women have any choice in entering sex work.
On the other wing you've got progressives who believe in the sanctity of female choice in ALL things, including sex work. They would think it wrong to limit a woman's right to make money off of her body if she wants to, and might label the folks on the other wing totalitarian (or possibly even paternalistic and sexist) for trying to deny their choice in the matter. That categorical denial of female agency in entering the sex industry of their own volition is the biggest problem this wing will have with the other, and will allow for some choice words to be exchanged as they try to paint their enemy in an unappealing (read: conservative) light.
Both of these wings are quite strong, which is why this battle rages on throughout the west regarding sex work. I'm personally favoring the sex workers on this one.
Know your enemy and know yourself, find naught in fear for 100 battles. Know yourself but not your enemy, find level of loss and victory. Know thy enemy but not yourself, wallow in defeat every time.

Guys with good game (as long as they can work around the state of things) have their pick of any woman. The only dudes approaching are crackheads, ed hardy bros or other guys with bad game. The women here are slim, theres a huge asian population and interracial couples are all over the place. This leads to fine ass mixed race honeys (Van might be a future poosy paradise with all these half asian women), no stigma against dating outside your race (well its rare to see Persians or Indians in interracial couples). Sure the social climate makes for shitty night game, but damn with the right moves day game is easy. No matter how a woman is raised she can't deny her instincts, she can't shy away from what makes her pussy wet. Be like water and you shall succeed.
Yeah, Vancouver's redeeming factor is the physical beauty, of both nature, and the women.

Check out " because I am a girl", guys in pink dresses protesting for women's rights and last year some clowns in superhero outfits tried to "catch predators" via onlinedating traps...
I have only been called misogynist twice in my life, and on one occasion it was by a very aggressive "Because I am a girl" canvasser. They absolutely spam the streets with those people. A lot of the canvassers are typical male feminists or super feminazi women, but there have been a few times where the canvasser was good looking and a good potential for gaming.

"Say you guys shut this place down and all the strippers are out of a job. Are you gonna pay their rent that month? Their kid's health insurance? Their food bill?"
Not in Canada! Well I guess with the amount of government social support here they are somewhat indirectly paying for it via taxes.

It's too funny that high school students, who probably don't have much money (unless their parents are rich), are fighting for the rights of people who are earning multiple times what they can earn at Timmies or McD's.
But if I were the owner I wouldn't worry too much. The kind of people who get involved in this sort of "first world problems" protests are some of the flakiest and most fickle people out there. Yes, including the guys. They are just looking for their 15 minutes and likely have little actual interest in the working conditions of the strippers. They will soon get bored and mover onto something else.
Yes the best example of this was last year during the Kony 2012 campaign, a lot of bandwaggon support without the facts. The problem is that this is state encouraged cultural Marxism via indoctrination in the public school system.
