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 Posted by Pynchme, Sunday, 9 May 2010 1:35:58 PM

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. Posted by Paul1405, Sunday, 9 May 2010 5:06:50 PM

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."
