Both sex workers and fat people must contend with a mainstream culture that feels entitled to our bodies in a way that is violent, objectifying, and dehumanizing. I wanted to explore this connection because it’s an important overlap that allows us to very clearly examine root causes.
How often do we think about the way media portrays sex workers and fat individuals? In this eye-opening episode of 'A Stripper's Guide', hosts Leilah Feinstein and Erica Sosa dive into the harmful stereotypes that mainstream culture perpetuates. They discuss how these depictions not only objectify but also dehumanize these groups, creating a culture of entitlement over their bodies.
Leilah and Erica bring their personal experiences and those of their friends to the table, providing a raw and real look at the intersection of sex work and fatness in media. They tackle problematic tropes like the 'fat mammy' and the 'sex worker as victim or villain', shedding light on how these narratives reinforce cisgender, heteronormative, white beauty standards. But it’s not all grim; they also offer empowering ways to challenge these stigmas and advocate for body justice.
This episode is a call to action for intersectional feminism and a deeper understanding of systemic biases. If you're ready to confront these issues head-on, tune in for an engaging and thought-provoking conversation that aims to decolonize our views on sex work and fatness.
