On this episode I am joined by the adventurous  and angelic Ashanti Gold! Ashanti is a strong, elegant and fierce burlesque performer. They are also referred to as a boss woman and classy dancer. Today we talk about women in terms of power, strength and  confidence. As well as different perceptions around age, ethnicity, and beauty. You can find me on instagram @locqueslaroux and Ashanti Gold @ashanti_gold_

Masculinity 101: Before the 1960s, Government and medical institutions attempted to squash promiscuity by limiting women’s access to contraception. Comparing contraceptive methods for women with the history of the condom, we can see that male sexuality was normalised and encouraged: during WW2, all soldiers were given condoms and encouraged to use them, while the pill was only made available in 1961 and on the NHS in 1974.
