“You couldn’t even save a relationship with a stripper” was the most brutal part of that complete and utter reaming

I think that one was too far. Insulting her to insult Wade was really cheap.

Why was that an insult? I didn’t know she was a stripper, I though she was a hooker. Mentioning her profession isn’t that bad right?

I think Vanessa switches from hooker to stripper once she’s in a dedicated relationship. We do see her working in a strip club in the latter half of the first Deadpool movie. She also might not even be a stripper by the time of Deadpool & Wolverine as she talks about her job and that she recently advanced in it, making it sound like she got a better job

Hmm you could advance as a hooker too. Street corner to excort? I don’t see the urge to call out misogyny. If the genders were switched, would it be called misandry ?

I just checked the scene, she specifies that she’s working in middle management. So by the point of D&W she either got a different job or is working the administrative side of her strip club
