Ah so pole dancing is all part of Indian culture is it? Once again
pseudo feminists are claiming western feminists are forcing a version of
feminism on Indian women. No need to look at how white male supremacy
is blatantly promoting pole dancing as empowering to all women
irrespective of their real life experiences living in a world which
continues to be male dominated and male-centered.

Whilst feminism has never claimed all women are identical - what
feminism does state and this is commonly dismissed as too radical, is
the fact women globally live in societies which are male dominated and
male-centered. How the system of male domination over women varies but
something all women have in common is the fact we cannot lives
independent of male control and male domination.

But claims western feminists are imposing their view of feminism on
non-western women is a common tactic much used by those who promote
individuality and belief we cannot criticise any culture when such
cultures oppress women as a group. Therefore we must not criticise or challenge anything because apparently we are all
equal individuals, actively freely choosing how to live and enact our lives. So, we also must not challenge or critique societies which engage in torture or imprisonment of individuals (read men because women
do not exist as human) who dare to challenge dictator regimes.

Claims concerning 'pole dancing' does not replicate male domination over
women or promotion of male supremacy' is in fact a cover for sexual
libertarians who always claim prostitution and the sex industry is not
male sexual violence against women and enforcement of male supremacist
ideology. The patriarchal/male supremacist system has at its centre the
belief that women and girls exist solely to sexually service men 24/7,
as well as always being in relation to males and ensuring males'
needs/demands/expectations come first and women's rights/needs etc are
not even relevant let alone a human right.

So promotion of pole dancing for women is all part of white male
supremacy as well as generating huge profits for the promoters. Pole
dancing cannot be separated out from the now global mainstreaming of
pornography and widespread belief that a woman's sole value lies in
becoming men's sexual service stations. But then feminists must never
critique or point out how the sex industry is not about 'empowering
women and girls globally' but is solely about maintaining male
domination and male oppression of women globally. Women globally have
not succeeded in throwing off the yoke of male domination and male
control but the rhetoric of 'choice' is used to make such claims. Pole
dancing is, as we know, tied in with pornography and the message of porn
is women are men's sexual service stations - nothing else.

Claims such as choice, freedom, empowerment, promotion of a male-centered notion of female sexuality is
commonly viewed as 'feminism' whereas in fact such claims are not new but more of the same old male control and male domination over women as a group. The male supremacist system has used this approach before as I discovered on reading Marilyn French's A History of Women In The World.
When laws were enacted in 19th century Britain concerning working class women the rhetoric used was 'protection of women' whereas in fact the real reason was maintaining male right over female right to work. So, such claims are not new - the only difference is the language used. Who
benefits from promotion of women as men's sexual service stations? Why men of course - because claiming women are 'empowering themselves by adhering to male supremacist notions that women are 'sex' whereas men
are human is one of the central tenets of male supremacy. Becoming a sexualised object does not alter or change how the social construction of male sexuality is predicated on male domination and female submission. If a woman's sole value rests in her being 'sexually hot' to men this does not challenge or change male supremacy - it only reinforces widespread belief women unlike men are not human.
