UCLA is now teaching students how to pole dance

The Sexploration Pole Art Class was hosted by the UCLA Sexual Health Coalition and UCLA Housing, according to the Facebook event page. Organizers offered students the “chance to explore [their] inner-diva and divo” and “get introduced to the basic moves needed to become a magnificent pole dancer.”

...
The class was taught by Candace Cane, a Los Angeles area “Exotic Aerialist” who told the Daily Bruin that she hoped attendees of her class would “gain more confidence in their appearance, because when you see yourself accomplishing something that you thought you couldn’t, it opens up a whole other world.”

...
With April being Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month, several schools have held their own “Sex Week” events, but many seem to have been focused not just on sexual assault prevention but on the exploration of sexual liberation.



Let me get this straight...

This is supposed to be Sexual Assault Prevention and Awareness Month, and they are teaching pole dancing.

You can't make this stuff up.

I guess I am trying to make sense out of it, which I probably shouldn't because it doesn't make sense. But it is as though these people want all of the "fun" and "benefits" of sexploitation... without the consequences of possibly being exploited or objectified.

Guessing it's an elective course and students pay tuition to attend university. Rather frivolous but it's their money and time.

The flower power free sex nuts have taken over higher institutions and it shows.

I don't think it is wrong.

Pole dancing is a great workout, plus, there is nothing wrong feeling sexy. I say go for it.

This class is going to need an observer to ensure that it meets the rigorous academic requirements of the University and I humbly volunteer for that position.

TBF, it will prepare them for a more lucrative, albeit brief, career than gender studies.

It pays more than a degree in "women's studies".

What exactly are you having difficulties with? These classes are nothing new, what era do you live in?
