Nothing is better and sexier than a feminist burlesque dance. Here’s why…

1. There’s no exchange of dollar bills into G-strings. Aside from saving money, no one is supporting the sex industry.
2. No post-shower needed cuz you don’t feel like a dirty miscreant after watching it.
3. It’s the “new consensual sexy” cuz it overpowers the male gaze and privilege.
4. Men and women can enjoy it together if they want.
5. There’s no skeevy touching, except for the moments that pull on your heartstrings because you feel empathy towards women.
6. It’s masters the art of comedy and activism, which means you feel really empowered by it.
7. You WANT to tell all your friends about how awesome it was afterwards because it’s not shady.

UK comedian, Nadia Kamil does a perfect job of showing how awesome a feminist burlesque can be. Her routine is inspired by a Margaret Thatcher burlesque act, and thought she could one-up the Iron Lady and her patriot pubes. (By the way, doesn’t Kamil look like Tina Fey and Molly Shannon’s long lost British sister?) So next time you’re looking to book a bachelor or bachelorette party think about tracking down a feminist burlesque show, you will never regret it.
