14. Sexual objects

Without feelings or desires of their own.

Property, no, at least not as in personal property. There's a much larger problem here, but I won't go into that in the context of your thread.

A Stripper is basically selling services, not her person, although she can be become subsumed in that culture and loose herself, her identity of anything other than a sexual object. In fact society itself sees her that way.

Some are content

Others are going to school or whatever, and plan on NOT being strippers for lifetime career.

Some have been coerced, or forced or find sex work is their best economic choice.

Personally, what I would do is arrange for a young man to talk to one, ask why and how she choose this profession. It would help humanize her.
