I’m going to begin stripping and my biggest fear is sexual assault at work. Why do these not get reported to police? Can they be?

No, I don’t think they would care. I start to think like a drop in the ocean, a spark starts a fire type of shit. Who’s going to tell people it’s wrong to assault strippers if not us?? Decades and decades ago, every woman in America had this line of thinking and no one reported rape. No one would have imagined the MeToo movement would come about this day and age. I’m not saying I’m going to put my livelihood at stake and report someone if it means I’ll get fired. I likely won’t, but maybe if stripping isn’t for me I’ll crack and do it. And it’s just that my opinion that if I did, I wouldn’t be stupid or naive for doing so. Fucking someone has to and no one should be discouraged in reporting assault. These men need to told at least once in a while it isn’t ok.
