I see nowhere any indication that nearly all female strippers picked the job due to a sexual assault.
On the contrary, it's more likely that you just notice the statistical average of 1/6 of the women having been sexually assaulted. But this 1/6 is true for female strippers, female clerks and female police officers.

Neither do I, but that's not an assertion I've ever made.
I've made my points about the wisdom of looking at other potential motivations and pitfalls based on abuse/assault history and answered what I felt were honest follow-up questions to the best of my abilities. The OP has acknowledged the information and advice many of us have offered. If you and Somehow want to continue your little circlejerk of tangents, word-twisting, nonsense and ignorance, have at it, but that's not something I'm interested in participating in at all.

Erica? This last post of yours wasn't very Sweet. I am sorry if I got under your skin.

To the detractors of the concern and warnings offered to the young woman who indicated raising her income through stripping, would you give your full support to your daughter or indeed wife to go off stripping without raising concern or at least caution of any sort? I suppose that applies to prostitution as well, since that has entered the discussion.
The advice and warnings offered here do not appear to be based on moral judgements or standards, just concern for the emotional/psychological and physical well-being of the OP. The money may not be that great either.
No one here has said sex workers are people that should be frowned upon. Are they potentially at greater risk of harm or exploitation than a waitress or shop assistant, YES.
I have faith that I can distinguish between fact and revenue racking muck in the media, but more importantly I base my concerns on the friends and others I have socialised with who have worked as strippers and indeed prostitutes. All of them were emotionally scarred. None of them walked away with savings of any sort. They all basically operated just at a survival level. If they entered that area of work, lightly using drugs recreationally, they left using drugs at a much higher level through to complete dependence. Yes, some of them even had very troubled times during their childhood and teens.
Of course the daughters, sons and wives of posters here, who enter the sex worker industry, won't face any of these problems because their support will just debate the issue or believe it to be statistically unproven.

Oh, then please elaborate your statement:"From what I gather, strippers and escorts/prostitutes almost always have a history of molestation, abuse, assault, etc., that was never addressed properly."

Okay, how I started is pretty easy. The first thing I did was find a club that had an amateur night. I signed the waivers, and danced. Primarily I did this was to make sure I was comfortable being on stage. I've seen too many girls pass a private (Three or less watching) audition only to freeze up on stage or just do horriblly and have them quit. I've seen some beautiful girls do that too. They would have done so well.
I was offered a job at the club I danced at amateur night and took it. As I moved on from various clubs I simply went around and checked out the local clubs for cleanliness, clientel, house operating procedures, and to see how the girls interacted with each other. If the place wasn't clean I was out of there. If the girls weren't friendly amongst each other I was gone..... Other things to watch out for are things like obvious drug use and girls using the club as their own personal hunting grounds for customers for their other side business.

I'd certainly be upset if my kid had no alternative to a soul-destroying job they didn't enjoy - regardless of whether that job was in sex work, or fighting in somebody else's war, or helping an insurance company find excuses to deny people coverage.
But if they chose it for better reasons... let's put it this way, if Rachel Wotton was my daughter, I wouldn't consider that a failure.

Assuming that was in response to me: yes, I think that adult-industry work (stripping or otherwise) CAN be soul-destroying, depending on the people and the circumstances.
As to whether I think everybody in the adult industry has that experience, you might want to look at what I wrote earlier in this thread. In particular, these words:
'The stereotype that strippers & sex workers are damaged goods with an abusive daddy in their past is not helpful. Undoubtedly some are. Others are confident women (and men) who do the job because they enjoy their work, and IME they tend to be tired of being patronised and pigeonholed by would-be "rescuers" who can't comprehend that a happy and healthy person might choose sex work.'
What is "soul-destroying" for one person in one situation can be "just a job" to somebody else in a different situation, and sometimes even "mission in life" to another. Hence my mention of Rachel Wotton.

This has been my experience with the ladies I meet. Clearing up to 1/4 mill per year sometimes tax free (depending on the country - if it is legal they pay some taxes) and someone is going to save them? The girls at FKK World and Oase or the Termas L'uomo, Monte Carlo where having a ball and making more money per year than I will with my 6 years at the university.

Good. We're of an accord
. I made quite a living dancing. (Yeah, just dancing. Uh huh.) And I never did anything I wasn't willing to or did I feel in the least dirty. However I do give the procautionary warning here. If you're a college kid doing this to make your way through school, don't make the mistake I did. Stay through school, I saw how much I was bringing in and didn't see the advantage to classes when I could do more work and bring in more money. Also don't let the money go to your head. Save as much as you can. I did do that part and the investments made are still bringing in a profit.
