What a shame landlord Mickey Thompson has to stoop to such means as stripping events in order to draw customers into his pub – Naked truth of pub’s stripper shows (Keighley News, May 23).
He calls this ‘traditional adult entertainment’, and I am saddened he views putting people on show to flaunt their sexual wares in this way a reasonable thing to do. It seems to me – and many others? – this is promoting men and women as primarily sexual objects.
Is this really a helpful perspective in our sex-obsessed society? Does a sexual relationship really belong in a public arena, rather than the privacy of a private home? For this is what is invited by strip clubs.
I am well aware some will see this as merely ‘a bit of fun’, and call me a ‘prude’, but, actually, I don’t care a fig about that.
I am prepared to stand up for what I regard as decent and wholesome in life, and this proposed ‘entertainment’ definitely does not fit into that set of values.
