Yeah, but it's awkward when practically every song about a struggling single mom who works, is about a stripper.

It has nothing to do with stripping itself and more about how its the go-to stereotype glamorized occupation of struggling single moms.

Plus they can't be full on prostitutes because that's 'too far' and audiences wouldn't be sympathetic to a prostitute with a child. But by being a stripper they can remain not 'really' a sex worker but sad and untouched yet a sexy suffering victim. She must be sexy - people watch her strip!

Stripping the occupation in reality is a different topic altogether to how the fantasy is stereotyped in music.

Like all types of sex work, people like to emphasize the extreme minority who are in it by choice and enjoy it, so that they can pretend that the extreme majority who do it either from economic desperation or because they are forced somehow don't count

Uh what? Have you even awtched the video. The whole point of the video is she doesn't like it but she is a sexy, sexy victim who is dancing while everyone watches and the camera focuses on her sexy victimized body

They are not emphasizing the extreme minority that are in it by choice, but unfortunately they are reinforcing all the other stereotypes and turning her into a tragic misunderstood beauty instead so it doesn't make it any better.

It strikes me that the problem is less the sex work industry and more the economic desperation and necessity
