A strip club in Britain has won a battle to remain open after local authorities were told many of the dancers who work there are feminists.

The Urban Tiger club in the western city of Bristol had faced calls for its license to be removed, but argued that stripping was not inconsistent with women's rights.

"It was the right decision," said Bristol-based burlesque dancer and stripper Tuesday Laveau. "Feminism is about women making their own choices and what I see in this criticism is a deep discomfort with women who are comfortable with their own sexuality."
