BLACK WOMEN’S SEXUAL AGENCY: THE FIGHT AGAINST THE WH*RE ALLEGATIONS
Listen now
Description
It is no question that Black women have been historically sexualized, whether it is our choice or not. Being called a wh*re is nothing new to us, and we seem to have collectively come to the understanding that the worst thing you can be called is a “wh*re.” Now, how are we trying to beat the wh*e allegations? Why ARE we so terrified of being called a wh*re? And how does this fear affect the way we think about and interact with sex workers? In this episode, we discuss wh*rephobia by looking at the history of black video vixens, the “ig model”, and going all the way back to slavery to decipher where the notion of wh*reness actually came about. Il n’y a aucun doute que les femmes noires ont été historiquement sexualisées, que ce soit notre choix ou non. Être appelé une “p*te” n'est rien de nouveau pour nous, et nous semblons avoir collectivement compris que la pire chose que l’on peut être appelé est une “p*te.”Maintenant, comment essayons-nous de battre les allégations de p*te ? Pourquoi sommes-nous si terrifiés à l'idée d'être traités des “p*tes” ? Et comment cette peur affecte-t-elle notre façon de penser et d'interagir avec les travailleuses du sexe ? Dans cet épisode, nous discutons de la p*tophobie en examinant l'histoire des vidéo vixens noires, les “ig models” et nous remontont jusqu'à l'esclavage pour déchiffrer où l’histoire de la “p*te noire” est apparue.
