Bonus: SEX! Now that we have your attention: Work by Chapo Trap House published on 2018-07-17T15:28:35Z Will and Virgil talk to writer, podcaster and sex workers' rights advocate Conner Habib and Tai, a self-described "whore of all trades". They discuss sex workers' labor issues, the atrocious SESTA/FOSTA bill, various models of sex work decriminalization, and why you can no longer use phrases like "lusty hands" on certain web forums.

Many sex workers are repulsed by the exclusionary "leftists" they see misunderstanding and seeking to control them, just like everyone else tries to. Thankfully sex workers don't need leftists they already organize better than many other industries outside of the traditional labour relations framework. SWERFs please consider a new hobby. Fun fact: almost every ""anti-traffiking"" organization is just a newly renamed anti-prostitution org, often religious. Fuck the nordic model and FOSTA/SESTA they literally do the opposite of what they say they intend, they put workers at greater risk and poverty and precarity, as fucking par for the course. 2019-07-19T06:44:25Z Comment by Jason Worthing penis inspection day 2019-06-06T00:31:11Z Comment by Eniasz come on, this is sooo not true, in a way that people who defend trans rights are often not defending workers rights at all (it is even corporatist strategy), but still you right to some extend 2018-11-24T08:55:09Z Comment by JJ Florence Goddamnit you're fucking right. Listening to this podcast made me so angry is the best possible way. Opressing marginalized people under the cover of "decency" or whatever is pure fucking evil. 2018-08-14T17:40:09Z Comment by JJ Florence the word "rehabilitation" gives me the creeps for sure\ 2018-08-14T17:31:49Z Comment by JJ Florence Jesus Christ, Is this done just to spite sex-workers? What the fuck. 2018-08-14T17:00:15Z Comment by _CFSH_ Anybody in this comment section smoke weed 2018-07-27T02:32:41Z Comment by aviya no no NO! how fucking disappointing....not you, too...! sex is NOT a commodity!!! 2018-07-22T19:48:57Z Comment by Primo Pitino thx for this episode 2018-07-22T16:20:24Z Comment by Support Cops My Twelve Friends Don't Like Chapo @user-373915336: How is my job, as a prostitute, not work? I clock in, clock out, use a strip club, pay for clients. This job has made me more fucking susceptible to police violence than ever before, shut up you little neckbeard fuck, there are plenty of "icky" jobs, people do them because they make a living. If you want to regulate sex work, you're asking the American Police Department to do it. Specifically here in South LA, and Hispanic, I'm vunerable. You go have fun now on your arm chair at your dads house, chances are I fucked him. 2018-07-19T17:03:57Z Comment by Chapo Trap House @user-486787612: Holy shit, is this for real? I didn't think there were laws in Louisiana, but if you can provide a source that says otherwise, I will have Virgil issue a formal retraction. Thank you! 2018-07-18T15:01:11Z Comment by Mitch Carpenter I wonder how much the view from people outside of the strip club effects the self-image of the people within the strip club to where they don't respect the workplace enough to want to improve it. I wonder if it is looked at as a sort of temporary cash grab where people just want to get their money because they can't fully commit for some reason 2018-07-18T11:59:46Z Comment by gamerunknown It all stems from a distinction on the type of work, obviously. Sex work isn't necessarily waged: dancing in a club is, independent contracting isn't. It's similar to plumbing, where one could technically be an artisan/lumpenproletarian (see the Communist Manifesto). Of course, Bakunin was better because he said lumpenproletarian people were more revolutionary 2018-07-18T08:58:08Z Comment by Chattanony @hustlain: Chapo socialism, folks 2018-07-18T01:12:41Z Comment by Chattanony What a surprise that Chapo brought on a male porn performer and didn't touch on any of the documented [obviously] misogyny, racism etc. of the porn industry. Rampant straw-manning of anti-porn ML's. You guys should just admit you're loser careerists who love jacking off and want "free-range" women to objectify. Completely worthless liberal shit on every level. 2018-07-18T01:04:04Z Comment by Four-Three-Five Recorder Chris Hedges' deal is that he is a Presbyterian minister on top of being a leftist, so having him say anything nice about porn or sex is a doomed hope. 2018-07-18T00:10:24Z Comment by Four-Three-Five Recorder This country is run by prudish Catholic school employees. 2018-07-17T23:21:22Z Comment by Kratrix St. James Infirmary is a San Francisco peer-based organization/clinic that provides free health care exclusively to sex worker and their partners/family Here's a link https://stjamesinfirmary.org/wordpress/ its a great place to donate to and volunteer! thank you, Tai and Conner! This was a good interview. 2018-07-17T18:55:10Z
