TV and Commercials on TV are essentially passive - unless you live in a home where TV usage is heavily monitored, you are going to see that kind of thing, but without, necessarily, approval from an adult. The message conveyed by the action of taking your son, getting them through whatever barriers there are, and letting them see naked woman conveys a mindset in a different fashion. It's pervasiveness (in the case of woman as objects on TV) vs. depth (in the case of taking someone to see strippers).

Plenty of people historically have thought of woman as property el_bryanto Feb 2013 #15

More likely it will lead to impure thoughts and possible repetitive motion injuries. Tierra_y_Libertad Feb 2013 #6
