I wish I read the intro when I was a young man, i wouldn’t have felt so alone at hating strip joints for precisely the reason you elaborated on. It’s really incredible how many guys love this power over women, especially the more mediocre alpha male.

But I suppose this helps me viscerally understand men and power now, and yet another reason why Trump has his power. I can stretch and make an argument why Trump was the right person in 2016 — politicians are so two faced full of shit (eg Hillary and the Democratic Party that anointed her.) Trump stirred the pot and put them all on warning. But supporting him now, is a whole different matter.
