Welcome to No Real Names: An audial deep dive into the centuries-old Sex Industry - why it continues to thrive, how it’s changing, and who we can thank (historically and contemporarily) for keeping it alive.
Join us for conceptual and philosophical discussions, stories, interviews and so much more as we work to desensitise, destigmatise and decriminalise.
Today, let's talk a bit about the politics of sex work! We'll discuss criminalisation, legalisation and decriminalisation and consider why some approaches are favoured over others (and why some leaders still refuse to implement the more favourable ones)

#2- Pirate Booty and WAP in the Wild West
Today, we learn about Cheng I Shih and Julia Bulette - two old-timey sex workers who did very different things with their loot. We’ll talk about floating brothels, sex work on the American frontier, and ask if either of these queens might have aligned with the branches of feminism we talked about in episode 1.

#1 - Sex Work and Feminism
The concept of feminism is something that's often brought up in arguments both for and against the sex industry. Today, we’ll learn about a few of the different branches of feminism and their attitudes toward the industry, talk about which ones are most and least compatible with advocating for sex worker rights, and we’ll try and debunk a few of the arguments some kinds of feminists might make against sex workers.
