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!

Just keep in mind that what you're seeing is one ONE aspect of the way many men relate to/see/feel about women, and it's HIGHLY concentrated and encouraged by custom in your environment. Don't fall into the trap of say.... Thinking you know what all Germans are like after seeing Schindler's List.
Anonymous gave good advice but why was it anonymous, you might woner? OK. I wondered.
I had a terrible mess with Roger but I went right back to liking the rest of the men. Can't stand that name though.
I think the ones that ask that hate themselves and project.
And objectifying can go both ways.
