For, as we know, there are women in bars and there are bar-women. The former are consumers in upmarket nightclubs and pubs; the latter work in bars as dancers. Society does not view them similarly, especially not in public space. In the world of bars, the separation between women as consumers and women as performers or dancers reflects the divide between those defined as ‘good women’ and therefore to be protected, and those defined as ‘bad women’, from whom society needs protection.24
