September 09, 2025We Need to Talk About #NotaStripperThe pole fit community's perception of strippers has done a total 180. In 2015, they took to social media to distance themselves from strippers with the #NotaStripper movement, even using it as a marketing tactic. Fast forward to today and being "pro-stripper" is suddenly trendy. However, the damage caused by #NotaStripper still lingers, and many strippers remain wary of pole fit spaces. In this episode, we unpack the whorephobia that fueled the #NotaStripper movement, why we believe strippers shouldn’t have to be grateful to the pole fit community for their belated change of heart, as well as reacting to a cringe anti stripper video “Why I Pole Dance.” NOTES:“These Women Are Stripping for All the Right Reasons” article: https://www.popsugar.com/love/why-i-dance-video-37053907BuzzFeed article:https://www.buzzfeed.com/keelyflaherty/these-women-will-transform-the-way-you-look-at-pole-dancing ♡ SUPPORT THE SHOW/TIP US ♡https://buymeacoffee.com/strippedunscriptedFOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM:@stripped_unscripted https://www.instagram.com/stripped_unscripted/ EMAIL: [email protected] VIXEN TEMPLE PUBLISHED WRITING: https://vixentempleblog.wordpress.com/ ...more1h 18minPlay
