Are you a man who cares about animals but thinks it is fine to treat women like one?I’m assuming, for La Bindel, that’s a rhetorical question?
Then Caso Diablo is the place for you. The world's first vegan strip club, in Portland, Oregon – a hippyish town in the US that prides itself as the most vegan-friendly in the country – serves up meat- and diary-free chilli cheese fries, chocolate/strawberry cheesecake and mushroom burgers…Is that all?
Oh:
… along with the naked women.It’d be a pretty poor strip club if it didn’t…
The place is sleazy, without even the veneer of a "gentlemen's club": bar staff are topless, while the dancers take absolutely everything off and are instructed to sit on customers' laps.Because La Bindel is renowned for her appreciation of the finer points of strip clubs.
The naked women draw the men in, says Diablo, which, in turn, means they will learn to love vegan food.*shrug* Maybe yes, maybe no. Who really cares?
In Caso Diablo, non-human animals are afforded more respect than the strippers. A sign over the bar reads, "Please do not wear fur, feathers, silk, wool or leather on the stage. Thank you – the animals."I think the patrons would object if the ladies decided to wear anything on stage, no matter its origin!
It is a strip club, after all…
"In Caso Diablo, non-human animals are afforded more respect than the strippers"
ReplyDeleteEr, well yeah, that's Veganism for you in a nutshell. Isn't that kind of the point ?
My opening sentence would read: Julie Bindel gets into a titz...
ReplyDeleteSince the topless waitresses aren't forced at gunpoint to work in clubs like this what business is it of Goolie Bundle's anyway?
The WV is priceless - hobore!
I never understand this point of view from these 'feminist' harridans.
ReplyDeleteWomen are able to be paid huge amounts of money doing something they choose to do, but 'feminists' are against it?
How is a women who chooses to take her clothes off being treated like an animal?
Feminism seems to mean 'what I want, not you, you silly little girl' from these daft, patronising buggers.
An Arts Council grant or government subsidy would be assured in the UK, where support for any ethical flesh show must seem entirely reasonable to Mac wearers in office.
ReplyDeleteDon't wear Wool?
ReplyDeleteI'm no authority on strip clubs but surely cardigans do not feature strongly in erotic wear.
Why pick on wool? The animals are sheared alive and just regrow the wool. surely the ladies are allowed socks?
ReplyDeleteAt moments like this I ask myself the question: What Would Jesus Do?...
ReplyDelete...Weep.
"but surely cardigans do not feature strongly in erotic wear."
ReplyDeleteIcelandic Porn?
Rule 34...never fails.
Hmm.
ReplyDeleteI'm finding that a bit difficult to imagine. I wish that Bindel had accompanied her article with the picture of a topless woman to help me along (it's never clear whether a bra or bikini top counts as a top for these purposes).

Have a look at the feminist harridans & compare them with women capable of earning good money from their looks or their bodies ..
I think you'll find the motive for their bile is jealousy, pure bitchy jealousy ..
Being the confirmed misogynist I am, I don't have a problem strip joints per se', but for all things there's a time and a place.
ReplyDeleteIs having a gash that looks reminiscent of an axe wound shoved in my face whilst I'm tucking into a quorn and toasted tofu salad really the time or place? I suspect not.
Quelle horreur, Budvar. And how strangely apt.
ReplyDelete"Is having a gash that looks reminiscent of an axe wound ... "
ReplyDeleteOr even a badly packed Kebab .. ;)
Though some years ago, I did visit a large Burger joint, close to Dam Square, Amsterdam .. where all the female staff wore little more than cowboy hats & big smiles .. which didn't seem to affect my appetite one little bit ..
"I'm no authority on strip clubs but surely cardigans do not feature strongly in erotic wear."
ReplyDeleteSo I'm the only one then.
No wonder I have to pay extra.
Call me old fashioned but I would have liked the girls to have a bit of fur on display...
ReplyDeleteWhy go to a strip club when you can have the real thing for free?
ReplyDelete"The WV is priceless - hobore!"
ReplyDeleteHeh!
"Feminism seems to mean 'what I want, not you, you silly little girl' from these daft, patronising buggers."
Spot on. And 'How dare you not hang on my every word, you ungrateful sluts!'..
"I'm no authority on strip clubs but surely cardigans do not feature strongly in erotic wear."
No, indeed. Nor socks, unless Chalcedon has more experience than the both of us...? ;)
"I'm finding that a bit difficult to imagine. I wish that Bindel had accompanied her article with the picture of a topless woman to help me along.."
:D

LOL!
"Call me old fashioned but I would have liked the girls to have a bit of fur on display..."
:D
The curious thing about this whole bizarre "like meat" example is, how many people actually pay to just look at meat? It's not just a bad argument, or a silly argument, it's entirely nonsense, isn't it? It makes no rational sense at all!
ReplyDeleteI refer Ian B to SBC's earlier response: see Rule 34.
ReplyDelete"but surely cardigans do not feature strongly in erotic wear."
ReplyDeleteOh I don't know. I was once walking through Shepherd Market when a lady of mature years wearing a rather fetching and posh-looking cardie remarked how cold the evening was and inquired whether I would like to come inside to warm up.
Not being Welsh, I declined her kind offer. Baa!
"dancers take absolutely everything off and are instructed to sit on customers' laps"
ReplyDeleteH&S oddly silent on snail trails and skid marks...
*retches*
