It’s a hot one outta the gate because Kaytlin (@kaytlinbailey)
invites Wendi (@wendibird82) into her bedroom for a surprisingly
unsexy reason! Then, after discussing their favorite, overpriced
reusable containers, they dive into the sordid tale and love story
of Harriet Hicks, one of the few documented cases of harassment and
abuse of women by the government along with a gaggle of
well-meaning but ill-informed feminists. Harriet worked as a
prostitute during inception of the CDA (Contagious Diseases Act) in
19th century England.
After an outbreak of syphillis in the military, the government
decided against testing and treating the soldiers (it was proven to
lower morale) and INSTEAD opted to randomly test prostitutes and
pretty much any other women walking alone at night. Or during the
day. Or early morning. Sometimes late afternoon. Once corralled and
assaulted with a speculum, a woman would either be deemed clean
enough to return to her life or condemned a diseased whore and
locked away in solitary confinement for an undetermined amount of
time. Once they finish screaming about the patriarchy, the ladies
get into the pros and cons of consuming mercury AND using makeup
products in lieu of tampons! They also share a couple of their
harrowing hook-up tales AND expose a very modern law that penalized
women for carrying condoms. PLUS, the girls read a fan email and
debut their new segment “Dear Johns”. Prepare to cleanse yourself
of any misconceptions you may have had about sex work…
