Episode 3 - Space, Cowboys, and Sex-workers (An analysis of Firefly)

 This episode, Tart with a Heart gets topical!! Eliza & Zoey discuss the attempted coup on the U.S. capitol, the announcement of the new documentary “Sell/Buy/Date,” and Hollywood saviour feminism. ****** UPDATE! Since the recording of this episode, Laverne Cox has posted on Twitter that she supports the decriminalization of sex work. Zoey here -- digression time! I should clarify in this episode the humility I talk about in academic culture is in the context of academics speaking to each other. There is a long history of academics ignoring sex workers’ voices and experiences, and there are obvious issues of classism in academia as an institution & stigmatization in their treatment of sex workers. ****** Sources: Meryl Streep, Rashida Jones and Laverne Cox Partner With Sarah Jones for Sex-Industry Documentary 'Sell/Buy/Date.' https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/rambling-reporter/meryl-streep-rashida-jones-and-laverne-cox-partner-with-sarah-jones-for-sex-industry-documentary-sell-buy-date Laverne Cox Drops Out of Sex Work Film Following Outrage https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/sell-buy-date-sex-workers-meryl-streep-rashida-jones-laverne-cox-1110427/?fbclid=IwAR1pO07R0i1rSKdaXSYBJijMj5jAyOYeDNJ6JC6gdsqmMncI4v8VzjiNu8E In this prostitution debate, listen to sex workers not Hollywood stars: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/aug/03/prostitution-sex-workers-amnesty-meryl-streep-lena-dunham?fbclid=IwAR0QnXLv0WV3ok2bqxggZlFTVPyngjgiKxnP2Y5e_lOcHxdXtcmtBcNDZr0 In An Attempt To Empower Sex Workers, Did Netflix Exploit Them?
