You know that's not what he meant. He meant attractiveness for pay. You correctly but irrelevantly pointed out that many strippers are ugly.
he SAID that stripping is about women exploiting their good looks. and that's it's just like any other profession in that way. both are distortions
the reality is that stripping causes psychological damage by attaching a woman's self worth even more acutely to her appearance than it already was
"good looks" = "attractive ability" in his phrasing. It's 100% irrelevant how they stack up to society at large and I think you know that.
Jobs are all psychologically damaging to us by attaching our self worth even more accutely to our intelligence, genetic predisposition to work hard, etc than they already were.
It's not that complicated. I don't doubt that stripping is not psychologically beneficial for many of the people to do it. But most people do a number of things that are psychologically detrimental to themselves. I don't really understand the distinction that stripping should have from so many other activities.
