We Too: Essays on Sex Work and Survival by Natalie West

5.0

i finished this about 1:45 AM on 2022 June 18

Firstly, I still need to google up so many things said, but because I was using the audiobook, this means I'll have to get a text version so I can annotate it & such. I feel like I've seen some of these already on social media, but then again that's kind of the point of me too is to say how sexual assault is common, see commonalities, etc, hence it makes sense with we too.

This book is a series of stories about rape & workers getting attacked. It connects a lot of different lenses of activism which was important for me since I tend to fixate merely on like big labels like communism, anarchism, socialism, etc.

There's different flavors of writing styles, IDK how to feel about visualization with this sort of thing.

Anyways, I gave this a books-for-queers label because it does help debug the content from gender essentialism.

I have this book a horror-suspense label because even though I was raised up on girlpower murder ballads (which had gender essentialism problems, lol), technically murder ballads developed from obituaries, and so with this it's like we're dealing with how people got assaulted in the workplace. point being while the suspense isn't a goal with this book, it's definitely some horror.

there are discussions about pandemics, cults, how presentation works, etc.
