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.

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.
Yes, because people only decide they don’t want to pay for something if it “drains” them financially. You’re either a clueless trust fund brat whose parents can afford to waste money, or you’re only capable of making a living on the pole yourself.

I went to one of the best colleges in the country on a full tuition scholarship, thanks. It would be nice to be a trust fund brat, but then again, I'm not the one talking about how my parents would feel paying for an extracurricular one-off event.
