Will the Real Feminists Please Stand Up on Feed 44

C4SS Feed 44 presents Kelly Vee‘s “Will the Real Feminists Please Stand Up” read by Katrina Haffner and edited by Nick Ford.

Amnesty International understands what Lena Dunham apparently doesn’t: women own their own bodies. Outlawing sex work is just another way in which the State exerts its control over women’s bodies (as most sex workers are women).

Speaking for other women rather than listening to them is a habit that seems to haunt white feminism.
