Dr. Anna Arrowsmith on Post-Structuralism, Pickup Artistry, Porn & Why We Should Have More Empathy for Men

REALITY BYTES is a show about sex, love, relationships & dating in the digital age, hosted by Courtney Kocak & produced in partnership with JASH. The 10th episode of season 2 has super funny standup comedian, recurring guest co-host & West Covina's finest Steve Hernandez back to help interview Dr. Anna Arrowsmith, who was Britain’s first female porn director (nom de porn Anna Span), then went on to earn her Ph.D. in masculinities from the University of Sussex, and is now a professor of gender & sexuality studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara. She also runs WeConsent.org, a site that promotes the rights of sex workers. Her recent book, Rethinking Misogyny: Men's Perceptions of Female Power in Dating Relationships, challenges common feminist assumptions about men’s and women’s sexual power. This episode's conversation runs the gamut from post-structuralism v. feminism, the #YesAllWomen hashtag, pickup artistry, how maybe it's hard to be a man right now & the importance of representation in media.
