YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

This week on the VICE podcast Reihan Salam sits down with Melissa Gira Grant, an independent journalist who has been writing and reporting on the sex industry for the past ten years. Grant recently authored a book, Playing the Whore: The Work of Sex Work, in which she calls for an overhaul in the way we think about sex work. Today, she chats with us about the history, the myths, and the criticisms of the sex industry and shares her perspective on how sex work is primarily about economic activity, and those who perform sexual labor shouldn't be criminalized or treated any differently than any other laborers trying to survive in our treacherous economic system.
