pondering with the English boy.



This English boy is pondering "Strip clubs present an interesting paradox; a kind of power stuggle, if you will. On the one hand, it is a man-run institution, and the businesses are usually managed by men. It is the man being catered to and entertained. On the other hand, however, it is the women who assume the dominant role. They are elevated to a higher status, both contextually and literally, as the stage places them above the male clients. The men offer up their money hoping to get a little extra attention or a better show, sitting wide-eyed and panting like pups. Thus it is a bit difficult to say who is really in charge, the birds or the blokes. Ah, no matter then! Come, let us have some tea."
