These women are generally condemned by a society that deems them hapless and unfortunate souls, forced into mindless and debasing work because of some unfortunate turn of events. In early Greek civilization, it was considered an honor to work for a strip club. During a time when women were judged almost solely on their looks, working as a kauspato, or stripper, was considered admirable. It was a great privilege because only the most beautiful of the lot were selected. Contrast that to today's world, where the mere mention of association with a stripper or club dancer immediately elicits raised eyebrows and scornful gazes.
People are just ignorant today.
They don't know what it takes to be successful in this job. Kind of like a business negotiation. The evolution of adult entertainment has cast a black shadow over the same human body that was once seen as beautiful. In a world where accountants and lawyers prostitute their minds every day for money, acting the same with one's body is seen as shameful and a disgrace. Her character tantalizes the client in much the same way that a stripper would entice a club patron.
