It's still about making women believe that their self-worth is completely tied to their sexuality, and that's wrong whether the perpetrator is male of female.

Theoretically, perhaps, but capitalism in a patriarchal system has plenty/everything to do with gender (see: "Why you aren't making what your equally-if-not-less-qualified-male counterparts make VOL 1-infinity"). This coffee shop is, yes, exercising it's capitalistic right to make more money but it's largely (or ALL) dependant on selling a gender construct of the women-as-sex-class. Carie :”Capitalism and greed have nothing to do with gender.”

Over half of these businesses are FEMALE owned and run, NOT MALE. Women controlled the initiation and establishment of these businesses, and are determined to amplify the attention they have created in order to make money.

He’s passionate about feminism — it just frustrates him so much that as a movement focused on gender issues, it necessarily involves so many impressionable chicks. Who, of course, are incapable of recognising the bullshittery of popular concepts like “empowerment” through pole dancing and the pornulation of western culture in general. If only they’d leave it up to blokes like him, it would have given everyone gender equality and a pony by now. The “hot pussy” hardcore porn reference is just a bit of cheekiness. It’s nothing to take seriously. Not any more. [...] [...] Jim’s at it again — giving us chicks the benefit of his wisdom.

I do not exaggerate when I say that the experience made me what I am today. I highly recommend it, if you can find a joint where the boss is enlightened enough not to fire you for kicking out the jagoffs. I was a bartender for 13 years.

I enjoy making drinks so much that I toyed with the idea...then I realized that the sleaze factor would be (current sleaze) *100 and raised to the power of booze. I dropped the idea. The male gaze/gape/gawp/paw/barbarous yawp certainly restricts female profession choice, at least if the woman doesn't want to deal with their shit constantly.
