Dear Antiseptic,

That is, of course, one way of ensuring
women are in no position to co-run the world.
And while women might be able to see that
they can pole-dance and run a corporation,
it's being sold as a women's choice, yet
it bears an unfortunate resemblance to a
consolation prize.

Interestingly, according to "The Age,"
May 1, 2010:

"Iceland, which has a strong women's
movement, a female head of state and a
very high proportion of female politicians
(almost half), has just passed, unopposed,
a law to extend existing restrictions and
close down strip clubs and lap-dancing clubs.
It will be illegal for a business to profit
from the nudity of its employees. It's the
first country in the world to make such a
ban for reasons rather than religious reasons.
Prudes, or taking a stand against women as
anonymous commodities.
Said one of its women politicians,:
"Once you break the glass celing and have more
than one-third female politicians, something
changes."

Imagine a world where women and men are simply:

People.

Foxy: <"The wheedling, seductive
message to young women is that being
decorative is the highest form of power -
when of course, if it were, Dick Cheney
would have gone to work every day in
a sequinned tutu.">

Haha! the image of DC in a fancy tutu!

Priceless.

Foxy that para is worth framing

I think the law was changed in Iceland due to a huge number of frost bite cases affecting the bear breasted women.

"Once you break the glass celing and have more
than one-third female politicians, something
changes." The economy for one.

The lap dancers might be ok out of work but have a look at the Icelandic economy, its a basket case.
