The Limits of Consent - Mia Döring | Maiden Mother Matriarch 9

My guest today is Mia Döring, the writer, psychotherapist, and author of Any Girl: A Memoir of Sexual Exploitation and Recovery. We spoke about why sex positive feminism struggles to come to terms with the true nature of the sex industry, the public response to Mia’s book, and why consent is a useless framework for understanding prostitution.

In the extended part of the episode we spoke about how Mia got out of the sex trade, the hypocrisy of pro-decriminalisation organisations, and why it would be better to talk about ‘mutuality’ rather than ‘consent.’ You can find extended episodes, bonus episodes, and the MMM chat community at louiseperry.substack.com
