Texas Legislature Raises Legal Age for Stripping to 21

More government bullshit.

https://www.xbiz.com/news/259476/tex...tripping-to-21

Bullshit law. 18-20 is an adult. They can even go fight a war for the USA and die but they can't strip, a personal choice they want to do with their bodies.

Read the text of the law, the part that specify what is under 21, at the bottom, section 8, paragraph 1.

Just about every strip club in DFW has fired all the dancers age 18-20.

There will be a flood of former strippers turn providers with GPS.

Personally, I think there should be one age that defines when a person becomes a responsible adult and which separates the things an adult is permitted (or required) to do from those that a minor is prohibited from doing, and it should apply uniformly to everything.

Not to make this a political rant. But once again a conservative state telling you what you can and can't do with your own body.

True this. Witness the ECCIE Political Forum for confirmation. One right-wing nutjob after another, no mention of Jesus, except ''Jesus Christ, the Liberals are ruining the Country'', LOL..

Not going to go over well with a Court challenge, when 18 year old guys are not prohibited from all-nude strip clubs.

So stupid. So to prevent "sex trafficking", they are going to take away a legal (and safer) form of sex work and channel those ladies into porn, sugaring, and/or prostitution. So. Fucking. Stupid.

And so it begins.

And so it begins.

Oh it’s definitely a Conservative thing…Conservatives love telling women what they can do with their bodies.

It’s all about power.

By now everyone should not have any illusion that conservatives are about your personal liberty. All politicians and political parties are like this, and they sure love to accuse the other side of eroding people's freedom. Both Democrats and Republicans love big government, just that it has to be their version of big government and big brother. How else could they accumulate power?

They need to cap the age for a stripper at 26...

I know a dancer who is 20; she turns 21 in August... OTC!! She is going to go to Las Vegas to work for the summer...

That's crazy talk. Besides there is no opportunity to extract graft if that applied to all parts of society.

I learned many moons ago, if a stripper is older quite often she is making her money via extras and not lapdances. Let's keep them around.

I stopped by BDD this afternoon... I was told that they lost 50% of their dancers... Probably not that many, but a good hit for sure...
