This 2-minute preview of the full 7-minute episode (and the corresponding podcast episode) were inspired by my trip to an Atlanta stripclub for my birthday. In the episode I’ll be discussing stripping and the various -isms of oppression. I figured this LexRated minisode would be a great companion piece for it.
LexRated will feature real discussions on the intersections of race, class, and sex work and their parallels to technology and pop culture. LexRated will be available to all $3+ patrons on patreon.
