Comment on To Pole or not to Pole, is that Objectification? by PH

Some interesting points are made on both sides, however nothing has changed my mind that pole ‘fitness’ is too closely linked with sex. As the previous comment made, students are surrounded by explicit material in the newspapers, tv etc but why does this make it ok for the college to promote? If a male teacher suggested a 16 year old student should take pole dancing classes concerns would be voiced. If they were a vulnerable student it could become a safeguarding issue if not more. So would it be ok for a female teacher to promote? My answer is no. I would not promote lap dancing as it is good for the thighs and I put these in to the same category. Within the website it is expressed that ‘no men would be present’, this shouldn’t be a good thing. Straight away it is saying if a male was present it would become sexual. Someone has been clever in making some women believe it is empowering but how is it so when only women can be involved. I don’t find anything women have to do away from the male gaze is empowering, I believe in equality but still I have nothing against informed, adult woman making choices. They will perform the classes with an awareness that 16 years still need to develop. Maybe if it was called ‘gym bar fitness’ with connections to gymnastics it would be more appropriate, even if the results were the same. Sometimes it’s just in the name.
‘Nilla’ made some good arguments however, working in a low paid job, with a clear hierarchy structure of work force with equal male and female staff is not the same as young women dancing provocatively to excite older men. Taking your clothes of is degrading; working below minimum wage with nasty costumers is a different social issue. Taking the activity and reclaiming it does have some positive elements, moving the enjoyment from male to female however again maybe issues for outside college life.
