When my castmate announced it after rehearsal, I didn’t feel shock at the news. Hefner may as well have died when he stopped being the editor of Playboy magazine.

					<description><![CDATA[One of the more difficult aspects of living as a sex worker is never knowing exactly whom you can trust. Sometimes even allies can say offensive things or break confidentiality. In the wake of such indiscretions, it&#8217;s sex workers themselves who are left to navigate that broken trust and the increased vulnerability that comes along&#8230; <a class="more-link" href="https://titsandsass.com/who-can-we-trust-vulnerability-whorephobia-and-fundraising-for-heather/">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Who Can We Trust?

					<description><![CDATA[As a general rule, I absolutely love being called “adorable.” It reaffirms a lifetime of well-intentioned cheek pinches and makes me feel like I still look youthful as I approach 30. But being an adorable person is a very different thing than being part of an adorable movement.

					<description><![CDATA[I agree that sex work, and sex workers, provoke expressions of misogyny that might otherwise be hidden. Well done, people who make this argument! You’ve correctly identified a definitely-existing strand of visible misogyny. As we’ve established, many things ‘provoke’ (read: provide a premise for) misogyny, because we live in a misogynist culture, constantly swarming with&#8230; <a class="more-link" href="https://titsandsass.com/belated-quote-of-the-week/">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Belated Quote of the Week</span></a>]]></description>
