Let’s NOT Support Black Strippers
Were you or anyone you know facing the charges the Duke Lacrosse players are facing you'd surely want the jury to know what a stripper's job description is. Most of us are aware that strippers are women whose "performance" includes activities such as "lap dances" — an exercise where the dancer sits in the customer's lap and sexually stimulates him by grinding her buttocks onto his penis.
Basically, this is the sex act with clothes on. This exceedingly rough activity also explains the so-called signs of vaginal and anal sex listed in the "victim's" medical examination. Performing lap dances on 40 young men should be expected to scratch up a girl pretty bad. And this point must come out in trial if the defendants are to receive a fair trial. The victim or some other stripper must be made to demonstrate what a lap dance is. The jury must see what a lap dance is.
But let's take this a step further. Let's talk about something else strippers do in private bachelor parties. Many strippers suppliment their fees by performing blow jobs. This fact should not astound you. To say that after performing simulated sex on tens of men a stripper would draw the line at blow-jobs, is to say something that simply isn't the norm — strippers and blow jobs go hand and hand.
"But this stripper had ethics!"
Please … if she had ethics she wouldn't be stripper.
We know that somewhere in the time-line the two strippers spent a significant amount of time in the "bathroom." As HumanityCritic will attest, the bathroom is the strippers office, the place she earns her real money — sucking cock.
And yet, even I agree that if the victim was raped — forced to do something she didn't want to — then the charge of rape is valid. But the problem here is that barring any eye-witnesses coming forth, none of the circumstantial evidence should warrant convicting the accused. This is to say, that because of the nature of her work,we would be remiss in affording this woman the credibility we would your mother, sister or wife (assuming your mother, sister or wife doesn't give strangers blow- jobs).
In other words, it makes no sense to use the same standard with sex industry workers we use for women not in the sex industry. Lap dances and blow-jobs are acts of prostitution, no matter the terms "strippers" use to distinguish themselves from common whores — "Exotic dancer," "dancer," "stripper."
The victim isn't Miss Goody Two-shoes. She is, as the Jerry Springer Food Stamp Mamas would put it, "A Ho."
