Beauty Privilege and Ugly Empowerment with Jessi Kneeland

Beauty Privilege and Ugly Empowerment with Jessi Kneeland

Author: freyagraf February 26, 2024 Duration: 1:33:09

This week in The Labia Lounge I invited Jessi Kneeland back to pull up a clit cushion and get cosy with me on the Lounge. Our first episode together a couple of years ago is still one of my faves, so if you haven't check that out go have a listen! It's about Body Image and Body Neutrality and it's a ripper!


This time we delved even deeper into an area that relates to that as we discussed how to be embrace ugliness and become intentionally repellant to the sort of people who are out to objectify, disrespect, abuse or disempower you.

We talk all things beauty privilege, the true cost of beauty labour, the impact of societal beauty standards on women, femmes and AFAB folk in particular, and how this ties into our self-worth, and empowerment. From dismantling beauty norms to setting boundaries in dating, this raw and thought-provoking chat touches on the emotional, psychological, and practical costs of conforming to beauty standards and being a slave to patriarchal expectations and pressures. Join us as we teach you how to navigate through uncomfortable situations, challenge societal norms, and empower ourselves and others in the dating world. This conversation challenges the status quo and encourages resilience and confidence in breaking beauty norms and reclaiming our bodies and sexuality for ourselves.


Plus you can expect all the usual antics and hilarious, vulnerable n' relatable personal stories and signature segments that you've come to know and love here in The Labia Lounge!
