When Feminism Chooses Control: The Pink Patriarchy Unmasked

from SWOP Behind Bars Advocacy from the Margins · host Swopbehindbars

A concise episode unpacking how mainstream feminism’s ‘pink patriarchy’ simplifies complex harms by conflating sex work with trafficking, and how that leads to policies that harm the people they claim to protect. The hosts run weekly thought experiments—applying sex-work policy logic to other precarious, feminized jobs—to reveal contradictions, ask better questions, and imagine more effective responses without minimizing trafficking.
