No Fat Strippers

While I was on Facebook, I came across a video of Representative Ken Havard proposing regulations on the age and weight of strippers.He announced that strippers should not be over 28 years old and above 160 lbs, and he claims that it isn't that those women that don't qualify aren't fit enough to be dancers or strippers, but he is concerned for their health and doesn't want them hurting one another. Some laughter was heard when he proposed this, and one House member spoke up on this topic. She claims this is the "perfect forum to talk about" since she hears derogatory comments all the time in these discussions with politicians towards women, and that it has got to stop. The Representative quickly withdrew his proposed amendment after she called him out. This proves that women need to continue to stand up for themselves, because even in political places, we are underestimated. There are far bigger issues rather than the size of dancers and entertainers.
