Stripper Strike! LA strippers seek to unionize.
ADVERTISEMENT Those words are painted across the signs being held by the dancers working at Star Garden in LA. The dancers have petitioned for unionizing with the Actors’ Equity Association, making them the first strippers to join a union. The Actors’ Equity Association is a union that predominantly represents actors and performers. And now maybe strippers.
Stripping, or exotic dancing, is no longer necessarily considered a shameful profession. It has moved into pop culture and people’s everyday life. Pole dancing is now considered a sport instead of only belonging in the world of exotic dancing, and the stigma of women being financially dependent on their sexuality is changing.
ADVERTISEMENT The new understanding of stripping and sex workers has also moved into pop culture. Artists such as Cardi B have publicly reflected upon their background as a stripper. With lyrics such as, “I don’t dance, I make money moves,” from the hit song “Bodak Yellow,” she proudly embraces her previous occupation before becoming a rapper.While she and Megan Thee Stallion’s song “WAP” caused many controversies, it was also viewed as a liberating expression of female sexuality.
