I subscribed to Glamour for years and they have a very long history of making ugly remarks about sex workers in their pages. Even on pages dealing with fashion or completely non sex-related things. Obviousy their tone hasn’t changed.

Granted, this is Jennifer’s remark and not Glamour’s, but it reflects the magazine’s attitude toward sex workers perfectly.

I have a subscription to Harper’s and I am very disappointed in them for that article.

Agreed.

Yeah, and she’s totally okay with exploiting the stripper theme to get plenty of hype out there about the movie, down to like a dozen articles penned about her “stripper diet.”

“Not a lot of strippers want to be stripping, you know. I think strip clubs are disgusting. I’ve just never been able to wrap my head around it. Guys are going in there to basically become aroused by another woman? And somehow that’s OK? … Though I’m gonna insult a whole group of women if I say stripping is disgusting. I also think it’s not very hygienic in there. I mean, my Lord. … Strippers just look bored to me. They’re just acting.” (source: http://www.fishwrapper.com/post/2013/08/09/jennifer-aniston-strip-clubs-were-the-millers-interviews-strippers/)

I wrote to Glamour about it, because aside from the obvious flaws, the whole thing reeked of hypocrisy. Aniston is playing a stripper in her new movie – somehow that’s okay but doing it for a living isn’t.

It’s about what appears to be a new type of sex work in Tokyo, and I found it extremely othering and racist.
