Misogyny Knows No Gender: Insights from A Stripper's Guide and Yes, A Stripper Podcast
Nobody cares about how we feel in our bodies, and we're just trying to do a job of entertaining and other sex acts by our choosing, not because someone else is forcing us to do it.
Ever thought about how misogyny isn't just a man's game? In this eye-opening crossover episode, Leilah Feinstein of 'A Stripper's Guide' teams up with AM Davies from 'Yes, A Stripper' to tackle the often-ignored facets of misogyny. They dive into the uncomfortable reality of whore-on-whore misogyny, where even fellow women can perpetuate harmful behaviors.
From groping to outright harassment, Leilah and AM lay bare their experiences with straight women customers who cross the line, often under the oblivious gaze of their male partners. But it doesn't stop there. The episode delves into how these toxic interactions affect mental health and intersect with race and criminalization in the sex industry.
Leilah's candid remark, 'Nobody cares about how we feel in our bodies, and we're just trying to do a job of entertaining and other sex acts by our choosing', captures the essence of their struggle for respect and recognition. The duo also highlights the urgent need for community support and the decriminalization of sex work. It's a raw, honest conversation that challenges stereotypes and advocates for real change.
