On the second episode of “A Woman’s Right To Pleasure,” Stoya and the book’s Editor in Chief Alexandra Weiss are joined by artist, activist and founder of Pussy Riot, Nadya Tolokonnikova, and legendary punk musician Alice Bag. Alice was the lead singer and co-founder of iconic L.A. punk outfit, The Bags, and author of the memoir Violence Girl, From East LA Rage to Hollywood Stage. Nadya first gained international spotlight in 2012 when she and two other members of Pussy Riot were arrested following a political performance in Moscow's Cathedral of Christ the Saviour. Their protest had been directed at the Orthodox Church leaders for supporting Putin’s election campaign. Nadya and one of her bandmates ended up serving nearly two years in prison, all the while garnering support from celebrities and activist groups across the globe.
In this episode, we discuss punk rock, the power of female rage, art as a tool for activism, advice for young activists, sexuality in ‘70s L.A., the differences in the female experience in the United States and Russia, cat-calling, slut-shaming, masturbation, menopause and being a feminist at every age.

On the debut episode of “A Woman’s Right To Pleasure,” Stoya and the book’s Editor in Chief Alexandra Weiss are joined by writer, filmmaker and host of “The Sex Ed podcast,” Liz Goldwyn, and legendary visual artist Marilyn Minter. Marilyn is an American artist known for her hyper-realistic paintings and portraits that explore sexuality and female agency. Spanning over five decades, her radical work is recognized for redefining the realm of feminist art. Liz is a writer, filmmaker and artist based in Los Angeles, who previously worked as the New York Editor of French Vogue. Her 2006 HBO documentary, “Pretty Things,” showcases “the last generation of American 'Burlesque Queens' as told by a young woman searching to discover the lost art of burlesque dance.” In 2018, she also launched The Sex Ed, a podcast and digital platform dedicated to health, consciousness and sex.
In this episode, we discuss the male gaze in art and pornography, the female gaze, the controversy and history of female pubic hair, the current state of the porn industry with sites like PornHub and OnlyFans, ecosexuality and goddess worship, the shame and stigma surrounding pornography, female sexual fantasies and their relationship with the patriarchy, censorship, slut-shaming, the illusion of social media and owning your power.
