Is being a slut good, actually?
Description
We have seen a resurgence in arguments against promiscuity and in favour of marriage and traditional family, but Zoe Strimpel went in a different direction. In her new book, Good Slut: How Money, Sex and Power Set Women Free, Zoe pushes back against narratives of victimhood and fragility, commonly attached to women, that suggest being a “slut” is not liberatory, but damaging. What can women gain from our autonomy and independence? Is it possible we can “have it all,” after all?
This week on the podcast, Meghan Murphy speaks with Zoe about casual sex, the pitfalls of marriage, and whether Bonnie Blue does in fact love what she does.
