You must hate men

I get the question "So working here must make you hate men?" a lot.

First off, I think it's interesting that the people asking think that men's behavior is so abhorrent and disgusting in the strip club that it would incite hatred in me. Tells me a lot about what certain men think of their own kind.

Secondly, no, I don't hate men. I go through periods of disliking men, mostly specific ones, but I think most people who have been hurt or pissed off by the opposite sex go through these periods.

How can I hate men? How can I hate anyone who on a routine basis gives me so much money?! Sure, I think a lot of men have issues. Maybe not even issues as much as differences that are manifested in behaviors that tend to be offensive.

Yes, sometimes I'm saddened at how men see women-but as an ardent supporter of the 'we're all just trying to reproduce' theory, men's behaviors make perfect sense. Is it hurtful to be constantly objectified, both inside and outside of work? I suppose, but certainly not hate worthy.

That said, thanks to men and their objectifying ways, I made lots of money last night!
