Episode notes
OnlyFans Reality Check
- OnlyFans appears empowering but most women make minimal income, around $300 a month.
- Many face long-term harm from digital footprints and regret participating in the sex industry.
Empowerment Is Not A Feeling
- Empowerment often feels like a fleeting dopamine rush tied to superficial acts like waxing.
- Genuine empowerment requires material change, not just feeling good momentarily.
Set Boundaries, Fight Patriarchy
- Don't guilt yourself over fitting beauty norms forced by patriarchy.
- Define your own boundaries and focus on bigger feminist goals like dismantling patriarchy.
