Should Men Be Allowed to Join Stripper Resource?

So they can plaster pictures of women wide spread eagle? 😋 I mean, I really don't see the point of them coming in here tbh.

good

I don’t think we need to separate by gender, but by performers and non performers. This site is to support performers. Maybe we could have a customer and performers place for those Interactions, so at least we know the public at large has access to us. The point is to have a safe space to talk about our experiences in the industry. we dont want consumers coming here to consume more of our content for free-that’s typically what happens. I don’t care about club chat and general strip club, but definitely the more personal areas should only be accessible to performers. I agree we should have a ladies and female presenting space-ladies only section. just my two cents.

I’m grateful for the trustfundkillers hard work and she’s the one paying for the website, so it’s ultimately up to her on how she wants to implement everything.

if i need to know opinion of users, i will go on ACF. But... i dont need lol

no men please. I only want to talk to people in the industry, lets not continue with the fake weirdos.

I don't think we should discriminate based on gender, but rather based on the purpose of the forum. People of all genders who are strippers or other kinds of sex workers should be welcome here. It's hard enough to get solid info in this industry, I don't think it's fair to exclude some workers.

Customers and gawkers should be excluded, however. Having them in our spaces defeats the point of the space.

I agree with what everyone is saying. I notice I have the option to manually approve members who want to sign up for the site. I'm thinking that will be a great idea for a number of reasons. Not only does it allow me to vet members a bit (even if it just means looking at their username and using my intuition) but it could prevent issues like spamming and trolling. Tomorrow I'll ask customer care if I can add an additional field when people sign up. Like "Why do you want to join Stripper Resource?" I already think our "Ladies Only" is a lot more secure than Stripper Web's ever was.

I changed my vote after some thinking. No blues.

But I feel like we should protect certain spaces from prying eyes best we can.

I feel that the standards should change since early 00s when stripperweb opened. And the site was ran by a man after all, it makes sense he'd have that section.

I feel like in today's day and age they have no reason to be in these communities. If they truly respected sex workers. They wouldn't be here to begin with, imo.

If men are interested in "helping" dancers they should to go the club and pay us per song for it.

I voted no men, especially for Safety and Security reasons.. I would just feel better using the site if they did not have access to the more sensitive areas, like ladies only of course, life support, hustle hut, etc. There are certain places on this site that should only be meant for dancers and dancers only.

Personally I have no interest in customer interaction on this site. I stayed in ladies only recently to speak with other industry veterans. However, the site has public sections so there will be guys browsing too. And I would rather know what kind of user I am interacting with (but if we can't get a blue and pink ribbon how will we know anyway?) I think I saw you can lock sections by non members, members, and select members added manually, so if we can have a bigger 'verified/performers only' section ( where I would prefer to have HH, Life Support, any Off Topic performers only chat, probably even Body Business tbh), I'm happy. Then if guys make an account fine but our private section is more private and expansive than SW was.

The Ladies Only area is critical. I don’t care if blues are in other areas like Lounge. At least you can ignore them.

I hope nobody minds my input. I've never been to TUSCL, or even heard of it, until a few days ago. I've never tried to take advantage of any member of SW, or used any information on there to take advantage of dancers. I've always done my best to support the female members in the forum. In some cases, I even sent money to female members who were in difficult situations, to help them out. I strongly support the rights of women to work as adult entertainers or in the sex industry, without being shamed or mistreated because of what they do for a living.

I definitely understand not wanting to deal with toxic assholes like Ruck Dugan, but please don't think all men are like that. I'm just as much against men who aren't respectful to women or mistreat women, as anyone else here.

I’m going to have to vote no. I hate it for the blues who could participate on SW without making asses of themselves, but they’ve also been shown to be very few and far between.

There were very very few occasions when I found male members to actually be helpful. Sometimes, sure. But it was like .001% of all the creepsters who joined SW. I think it's better to limit it to female (or female presenting). Dudes have their own forums, when they come into our spaces they just tend to make things weird, lol

I don’t see the point of a pay wall. one will pay it, and then theylll screen shot everything over to TUSCL, like they did with SW. It should just be US- strippers and of course the other branches. I don’t see any good reason men should be involved in our new sacred space.

I think we should think about what is it that men would be contributing to the forum? I’m sorry to say but is there really any sage advice from DJ’s or customers that we need? LOL. personally in the rare instance a man shares some insight into the industry (unlikely) with me that is worthwhile, I can just pass it along.

I would add RickDuggan to the safe list.

Absolutely no blues PLEASE, i beg of you. They already single handily ruined SW, it was one of the main reasons I wasnt on there much and wandered over to Reddit. Although it is pretty bad on Reddit as well.

Can you eventually set the Life Support to female members with a bit of established post history like how "Ladies Only" was on Stripperweb?

How do you ladies feel about grandfathering in some of the better blues? For example, Bahuba, slowpoke, eagle2, DeathandTaxes, etc., if they were to join. Slowpoke already joined and I see no issue with him being here. What are your thoughts?
