Jessical Biel Stripping

Scenes of Jessica Biel stripping for her new movie Powder Blue have been released, along with a short clip of her interview with Access Hollywood. Biel said of strippers:

"I’ve gained such a greater respect for the women that actually do this for a living. It’s so difficult."

Physically I agree that the type of stripping Biel did for the film is more difficult than average stripping, but even average stripping is a workout, which is why stripping poles are becoming a popular workout tool. However, strippers themselves deserve as much respect as drug dealers, who take advantage of other people’s weaknesses to make easy money off of them. Whenever I hear a stripper make the lame excuse they strip to pay for college, or have a child to raise, I look at the 99% of other women who choose not to strip, and realize strippers are making excuses because they know what they are doing is wrong, but don’t want to work as hard as 99% of other women.

Strippers don’t deserve respect for their bad choices, 99% of average harder working women deserve that respect. I’m not a fan of movies like Powder Blue that glamorize bad life choices. I’d rather see a movie that praises good choices of women that set a good example for other women.

Biel’s praise of strippers is an effort to excuse her own bad choice for a movie role just to make an easy pay check.
