We are all mostly in a mainstream dating culture that is based on non-consent, and so if we've been sort of living by non-consensual standards our whole life, that can show up in other places, like not being able to stand up to your boss at work because you don't know how to speak up for yourself, and it just kind of bleeds over into a boundarylessness in general for many people.
Ever wondered how conspiracy theories can ripple through the lives of sex workers? In this eye-opening episode of 'A Stripper's Guide', host Leilah Feinstein sits down with Annie McCasland-Pexton, the voice behind 'The Baby in the Bathwater Podcast'. Together, they untangle the web of misinformation that ensnares sex workers and femmes, often leaving them vulnerable to harm and misunderstanding.
Leilah and Annie dive into the murky waters where conspiracy theories meet wellness culture, revealing how even well-meaning movements can end up hurting those they aim to protect.
They tackle tough questions like, 'How do anti-trafficking campaigns sometimes backfire on consensual sex workers?' and 'Why is radical compassion crucial in these turbulent times?'
One of the standout moments is when Leilah reflects on how living by non-consensual standards can seep into other areas of life, creating a boundaryless existence for many. This episode isn't just about highlighting problems; it's about fostering a deeper understanding and encouraging listeners to think critically about the media they consume.
Whether you're a sex worker, an ally, or simply curious about the intersection of conspiracy theories and marginalized communities, this episode offers valuable insights. It's a blend of serious discourse and compassionate storytelling that will leave you thinking long after the episode ends.
