All three of these are low status in many audiencies/societies. I think that for each, however, there exists an audience that accords them high status.
Who considers strippers to be high status?
(Certainly not the actual audience. They just see meat to eat with their eyes, not a person. Even prostitutes are probably respected a lot more on average than strippers, since it's more common that people at least talk to prostitutes, and become more aware that there's a person there.)
Typical mind fallacy, perhaps?
I don't know about you, but if I happen to be watching someone stripping it's much more about the meeting of the eyes than the eyeing of the meat.
Well, if you go by the HBO specials they did about both groups, it's actually the other way around. Though really, people formed long-term relationships with their service providers in both groups.
Generalizing from one example, rather. Mostly I was going by what I've heard from an acquaintance that worked as a stripper.
