HOW CAN HE ROUNDHOUSE KICK?! And seriously, tell James to *shut the fuck up*. Does he actually *know* any strippers or prostitutes, or is he basing his opinion of them entirely on how they act when he tries to humiliate them at their place of business? Because I'm guessing it's the latter. He just wants to feel like a big man, and humiliating strippers gives him his jollies. He should just fucking admit that.

And seriously, tell James to *shut the fuck up*. Does he actually *know* any strippers or prostitutes, or is he basing his opinion of them entirely on how they act when he tries to humiliate them at their place of business? Because I’m guessing it’s the latter. He just wants to feel like a big man, and humiliating strippers gives him his jollies. He should just fucking admit that.
