ep. 189: Feminist Porn
What is—and isn't—feminist porn, and why even make it? Bea Blue, an up and coming feminist porn director, shares how she got started, what feminist porn means behind the scenes and why she embraces criticism. Cristen also touches down on the infamous "Porn Wars" of the 1980s that ironically allied radical feminists and right-wing evangelicals.
