Councils have a duty to promote gender equality and ought not to be endorsing clubs which treat women as sexual commodities that can be purchased,normalise men paying for a sexual service and make women stripping and performing nude dances for men seem like mainstream entertainment.
Shame on York Council

Lapdancing clubs let us all down, men and women. Women are not for sale. We don't need to reinforce the idea that they are in this way. Men will survive without these clubs. To think that they are acceptable in the 21st century is as wrong-footed and anachronistic as assuming that women make the best secretaries. If you want to sell sex on Micklegate open a Burlesque club. At least they're fun.
