Episode 2 - Sell/Buy/Date” & Hollywood Saviourism
This episode, Tart with a Heart gets topical!! Eliza & Zoey discuss the attempted coup on the U.S. capitol, the announcement of the new documentary “Sell/Buy/Date,” and Hollywood saviour feminism.
******
UPDATE! Since the recording of this episode, Laverne Cox has posted on Twitter that she supports the decriminalization of sex work.
Zoey here -- digression time! I should clarify in this episode the humility I talk about in academic culture is in the context of academics speaking to each other. There is a long history of academics ignoring sex workers’ voices and experiences, and there are obvious issues of classism in academia as an institution & stigmatization in their treatment of sex workers.
