It honestly never occurred to me that I would have to explictly say "I think strip clubs are sexist." What is this, fucking 1960 that the idea is a shock to anyone? And how a woman reacts to her husband going to a strip club obviously depends at least in part on her opinion on certain gender issues. I made my personal opinion clear, but also explicitly said "each to em's own"--so how that's imposing my own values on everyone else is beyond me.
I stand by my observation that lots of folks have a double-standard of what sexuality-related conduct they'd tolerate in themselves vs. their partner. Lots don't, that's great. But to deny it exists in some cases is just flat-out ridiculous.

One of the weakest points of your argument was that particular point, actually. Maybe you hang with some neanderthals or something, but I haven't met a man that I would even consider dating who would have a problem with me going to Chippendales or whatever male equivalent you care to come up with.* Men would generally love for their wives to go to Chippendales or a strip club (women dancers) or any other activity that involves the likelihood of the wife getting turned on and therefore wanting to fuck like crazy when she arrived home.
*as an aside, the fact that there is no real female outing equivalent is a valid point in the Are Strip Clubs Sexist debate.
