This week’s exclusive features a casual but thoughtful conversation between Nashwa and Yasmin Nair. Enclosed is a preview, if you want to unlock the full episode you can by subscribing on Patreon or Substack. Together they chat about her article On Nostalgia, Sex Work, and the Dancing Girls of Lahore. They discuss how the courtesan has been and is viewed in Paksitan and how sex work is flattened in the neoliberalized versions of feminism here and elsewhere. They also discuss Armie Hammer and sex panic as well as the culture around how we discuss relationships (please note that this was recorded on January 15th before some additional information on the situation was disclosed—we clearly state in the episode we do not condone violence against women). The two also explore what feminism has become, who it has forgotten and question what we all long for. Yasmin also discusses helps us understand who is and was left behind in the fight for gay marriage.

This episode features a short list of complementary readings on substack - we hope you check them out.
