I felt no shame about my profession and still don't.

I started dancing 5 years ago, at a strip club. I enjoyed it. It was fun and a party. But besides that, many women were there not because they really wanted to, but they had to, they had mouths to feed and deadbeat baby daddies. But here is a list of a few things I've seen wrong in the industry. Number one: a lot of men don't treat it as strictly entertainment (although if the girl is cool with it, that's her business). My point is that I saw girls treated like crap by men because they were seen as "sluts and whores". Sure, some were crappy people, but no one deserved some of the treatment that plagued the clubs. Number two: the government I feel plays a part of this by having so many laws against what you can and can't do. To me, as long as the environment is kept safe and everything is consensual, I don't see any problem with what a woman chooses to do with her body. What if she needs the money to feed her kids? It could be the difference between a good dinner that night and ramen noodles for the 5th time or maybe not at all. I felt no shame about my profession and still don't. I act shy about it to certain people because I feel that's how I'm supposed to feel. I am comfortable with it myself, I learned so many things and gained valuable life experiences from it. Number three: trying to find a good job afterwards is nearly impossible. The job market is shoddy as it is, and I am prejudged because I danced. I now work part time for $9.50/hour in a warehouse, which is horrendously low for warehouse work where I live. I work my ass off and it means nothing, I will never get a raise there AND even if I worked full time, would never get benefits. They don't even offer them. The management is awful. I strayed a bit, I am just explaining that I have a crappy job and that I ended up here because people view stripping as a life screw up. I didn't screw up, it's not like I went to prison (ex-convicts have an easier time finding a job because of tax cuts offered for hiring them). How is it I do something legal and it is worse than committing an act that sent someone to prison? How does society dictate stripping as an abomination?
