Why don't you respect them? I personally know two female and one male stripper in Vegas. One of them is on a billboard. Nicest, most genuine people I know. Two of them have told me about how sometimes they'll say what they do for work and instantly be judged, while other times they won't be. No other profession is like that. The one girl joked that it's an easy way to sort thru new people and potential friends, figure out who is judgmental and who isn't. Ironically, most of the biggest pricks I know are deeply religious. I don't hang around shitty people too often, but I'm 100% sure that there are also strippers that are terrible people. I just think saying an overwhelming comment that you can't respect any of them is a tad too far is all.
