This is where the progressives begin to run into trouble with each other.
On one wing, you've got progressives who think sex work is exploitative and ought to be attacked. The fact that such work is often enjoyed by men is a key reason for this hostility, since it is viewed as a tool men use to exploit women for their own pleasure. Their vision of female empowerment doesn't include the use of the flesh-"girl power" is attained in classrooms, not on stripper poles and porn sets. Their limited view here is quite strictly adhered to as that quote from the student showed-they simply deny the notion that women have any choice in entering sex work.
On the other wing you've got progressives who believe in the sanctity of female choice in ALL things, including sex work. They would think it wrong to limit a woman's right to make money off of her body if she wants to, and might label the folks on the other wing totalitarian (or possibly even paternalistic and sexist) for trying to deny their choice in the matter. That categorical denial of female agency in entering the sex industry of their own volition is the biggest problem this wing will have with the other, and will allow for some choice words to be exchanged as they try to paint their enemy in an unappealing (read: conservative) light.
Both of these wings are quite strong, which is why this battle rages on throughout the west regarding sex work. I'm personally favoring the sex workers on this one.
Know your enemy and know yourself, find naught in fear for 100 battles. Know yourself but not your enemy, find level of loss and victory. Know thy enemy but not yourself, wallow in defeat every time.

Read the comments on both the links you posted. They are overwhelmingly against the students. I truly do feel for the male students in that class.
This guy Ryan only has two possible outcomes:
He stays for life with some ugly feminist as her pet.
If he manages to find some half-decent looking wife somehow, she will get tired of him eventually and divorce him and take him to the cleaners.

This is not representative of Canadians' views on gentlemen's clubs; rather, one teacher's unfortunate brainwashing of his students. This was for a "social justice" class, which, from the articles, sounds like the high school equivalent of a university "women's studies" class.
EDIT:
Damn, look at that overbite:
Bitter feminist in the making.
I can't have sex with your personality, and I can't put my penis in your college degree, and I can't shove my fist in your childhood dreams, so why are you sharing all this information with me?

Vancouver again... BC is truly the center of the spider's nest called feminism and PC, self-congratulatory hysteria. Check out " because I am a girl", guys in pink dresses protesting for women's rights and last year some clowns in superhero outfits tried to "catch predators" via onlinedating traps...

I know what my first thought was, and I'm sure it was the same for many of you.
"Say you guys shut this place down and all the strippers are out of a job. Are you gonna pay their rent that month? Their kid's health insurance? Their food bill?"

Ha. They should be protesting that these poor women have to work in, and probably live in, New Westminster. Not that they are choosing to be strippers.
It's too funny that high school students, who probably don't have much money (unless their parents are rich), are fighting for the rights of people who are earning multiple times what they can earn at Timmies or McD's.
But if I were the owner I wouldn't worry too much. The kind of people who get involved in this sort of "first world problems" protests are some of the flakiest and most fickle people out there. Yes, including the guys. They are just looking for their 15 minutes and likely have little actual interest in the working conditions of the strippers. They will soon get bored and mover onto something else.

So much for "tolerance." If only the workers and patrons weren't all cis-gendered, then everything would be OK.

That old woman has it right. It really is that simple. 2 consenting adults exchanging money for dances, no one is being forced to be there and no gang or mob ties.

I can't believe this is going on in a high school. I guess the old school, no bullshit teachers (has Canada ever even had those?) are all retiring and these new age freaks are taking over classrooms.

Yeah, tell a girl making more than their teacher in half the hours that you're there to save her from social injustice. Hahahahah. Jesus, the sheer audacity to go to someone's place of work that harms no one and try to tell them how to live their life is just unbelievable -- the height of arrogance.
I had to take a "social justice" class in college. It was mostly women, I'm sure it's a popular minor for women's studies majors.

My friend lives in Toronto, with his Canadian gf. They keep saying "why don't you move over". I don't want to tell him why because he's in love with the place and wouldn't tolerate criticism. I guess his foreign status made it easy for him to bag a nice gf, in a bar of all places, I hear the average Canadian man has it much harder.
