If you were taking a woman on a date to a place where women are objectified, I'd be open to the possibility that money isn't your only obstacle.

Drop the puritanical attitude. Strippers are just regular people trying to make ends meet.

I was not taking a woman on a date to a place where women are objectified, and I didn't say that I was. She and her friends (women) decided to go to a strip club, and invited me at the last second. How could you POSSIBLY have interpreted what I said as that it was my idea to go there, let alone that it was a date? You've also assumed it was a strip club of only females. Regardless, I'd be open to the possibility that you should mind your own damn business. Nobody involved cares for you to judge them for their job or the way they express their sexuality.

Get off your moral high horse, you can't possibly know the full circumstances of the OP to make such assumptions. This SJW mentality has to stop.

  It's funny because it was actually a group of girls that decided to go to the strip club and then just invited me at the last second because I was there. I didn't touch the stripper, but the girls did. I didn't pay to have her rub her boobs in my face, but the girls did. I'm not saying something can't be sexist if a girl does it, but I am pretty sure it blows that commenter's assumptions out of the water. I actually hadn't yet said that they were female strippers at that point either. Personally I don't like the idea of assuming a stripper doesn't like their job or is being taken advantage of or objectified. I don't see why it's any of our business to tell them how to feel about their job or make assumptions.
