040 - S/A Through #MeToo and Language, with Anastasia Serrell-Watts

TW: sexual assault (s/a)

Following up from our last episode with Anastasia, we expand our discussion of sexual assault from her personal experience to global representation. We do this by talking about:

  • #MeToo and its reception
  • how sensationalism warps movements
  • sexual abuse in the LGBTQ+ community
  • post-assault sexuality (libido and orientation)
  • self-erasure of survivors and invalidation of labels
  • naming sex crimes as precisely as we do others
  • insensitive jokes about s/a
