i can’t tell you you’re oppressed
without asking your opinion on it.
-Fatemeh Fakhraie
I’ve written before on the subject of sex and authorship and believe in the virtues of Neo Burlesque and Suicide Girls as a potential source of empowerment. Yet what still struck me in this clip from Sundance’s Pleasure For Sale is the frank calm with which Kittie approaches prostitution as an independent contractor. Or at least, that which we see on screen? Dunno.
That said, we must keep questioning those things that make us nod or shake our heads, be it assent or dissent.
