Body Politics: Sex and Standards

March 26, 2025 • @equality.pod • Season 1 • Episode 2

Tune in as we spill the tea on beauty standards and sex work through the lens of body politics. In this episode, we are diving into some challenging questions:

Can a feminist take Ozempic or have plastic surgery?
Can a feminist be a sex worker/ can a sex worker be feminist?

Join us as we unpack the societal pressures around beauty and body image, and explore how seemingly personal choices intersect with systems of power.
